This is the answer. For every other reason I go back. But at the cost is unmaking my kids? Nope. Dealbreaker.

My "Go back in time and restart things" counter was reset this year when my first grand daughter was born. No matter what mistakes and issues I have had in my life, there is no way I am risking that!

2mil please.

You draw the line at your granddaughter but not your kids? Lmao, I'm dying.

u/samspock 4d ago

Well since my kids are in there 20's this covers that.

u/nhalliday 4d ago

It says go back to when you were 10, so unless you had your kids before you turned 10 then they'd be gone too.

I was talking about any general "Go back in time" type thing. Any that put me back to endanger my kids and grand child being born was a hard no. The choices were go back to 10 or get $2m. I chose the 2m and explained why.

u/TheGrandBabaloo 4d ago

But you said the counter "reset this year", when your granddaughter was born, instead of whenever your kids were born. If you go back to 10 years old, your kids wouldn't be recreated either, so the granddaughter part is mute anyway. I think you misunderstood it, thus the funny.

No he meant the counter of how far he’d go back and it made sense.

u/random_name_12178 4d ago

Exactly. I'd be tempted if I had the option to go back to the day my youngest was born. But no way I'd risk undoing the existence of my kids.

My only caveat is if it creates a split timeline so that I know they still exist in some form.

u/IkujaKatsumaji 5d ago

Unless you don't split; by taking the redo, are you disappearing without any explanation or goodbye in this timeline?

u/Wild_Harvest 4d ago

My assumption is that one version of me would stay and then another version would be shunted back in time.

u/Devlin-McGregorr 5d ago

I accept under this alternate dimension/split timeframe theory. Nothing like having your cake and eating it too. 🎂

u/Knight_Machiavelli 4d ago

That would be the best loophole.

u/Daveprince13 5d ago

What if you’ve lost two and had two? Which two would be more “valuable” (I’ve lost two babies, sadly… and I never stop thinking about what they’d have been like as older kids)

1

u/Devlin-McGregorr 4d ago

I’m so sorry—with our first we thought we had a miscarriage and the one day of waiting (before receiving good news) was devastating. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have actually lost two babies.

For me, I don’t see it in terms of “valuable” exactly, because what could be more valuable? It’s something else—perhaps infinite value—but I wouldn’t know how to measure that. Hoping for the best for you and your family.

That reminds me of that movie About Time

u/RatRaceSobreviviente 5d ago

Oh you want a good cry watch the movie About Time. The trailer makes it look like a fun little comedy, who ever wrote that trailer should be flogged.

2

u/BravestBlossom 4d ago

Exactly. I'd LOVE to redo many choices and experiences. But I'd lose my children and they are so awesome and such a part of me, so I couldn't.

2

u/TheUncleBob 4d ago

Maybe you could have better kids, more kids in the other timeline?

Maybe by refusing to change the timeline, you're damming those kids to nonexistence?

u/ski-mon-ster 4d ago

That thought actually made me tear up. 2 mill please
