I'll start: impromptu road trips. No planning, just throw some cash in your wallet and drive wherever sounds cool that day. Now everything needs a 3 week advance notice and a diaper bag the size of a suitcase.
The peaceful mornings though. Used to read the paper with coffee, no rushing around. Now I'm making three different breakfasts because apparently everyone has different preferences now.
I get the road trips thing but honestly the spontaneity with my wife. Just deciding to grab dinner somewhere random or stay out late. Now everything is scheduled three weeks in advance.
Going to see a movie at actual release time without paying a babysitter's mortgage. Caught a 9pm showing last weekend and forgot what that was even like.
Road trips for sure. Now everything needs to be timed around nap schedules and snack breaks. What used to be a 4 hour drive is suddenly 7 hours with stops.

Sleeping in past 6am. Just absolute glorious uninterrupted sleep. I miss that more than anything.
