What do you consider middle aged?
Just wondering because recently someone refered to me as middle aged during a conversation. I was talking about going back to work and she was telling me that I would really like teaching at her school because there are a lot of middle aged women with kids there like me. Now, I don't consider myself middle aged, but I guess she does. lol. So what age range do you consider middle aged? I promise I won't be offended. 
Re: What do you consider middle aged?
Oh good lord Alisha. You are NOT middle aged! I think of middle aged around late 40 - late 50.
Who on earth called you middle aged?
LOL...you are totally not what I think of when someone says middle aged! LOL
I mean, I guess it is all relative, but I would consider someone in their 40-60's middle aged. I guess I just see it as the "mid point" of ones life.
I'd say 40-60 too.
When I was younger, I'd probably say over 35. But once you get older you get a little more perspective than that :P
You are so not middle aged. I'd agree and say late 40's to late 50's...like I consider my mom middle aged.
Yep, I agree. when I think of middle aged I think of my mom's generation... approaching their 50's
Somebody did that to me at Godiva at the galleria last week
I was wearing one of those babydoll tops and the shop clerk asked me "what the baby wants" when I said I couldn't decide on what I was getting. I was like, "who's havin a baby?!?!"
Alisha, I was thinking opposite of Bethany, actually. I got the idea that she is really young and was intimidated by you and might have been taking a subconsious jab at you to feel better about herself
I hate it when girls do that.
Aw, you're sweet. She was about 4-5 years younger than me.
A friend of mine had this happen to her when we were in college. It really made my friend feel like crap, because of course she wasn't and she didn't look it, it was just some idiot didn't know when to keep her mouth shut. But it caused my friend to buy a case of Slim Fast from Sam's.
That's awful! I'm trying to loose weight, but I love food too much to resort to Slim Fast. The guy had met me during the month before my wedding when I was running for an hour every day. I don't have the time or resources to do that now and have gained 8 lbs. No belly mind you, but I've got big boobs now. I think even if a woman looks pregnant-- you're best to keep your mouth shut.
*lose*
what?!! that's crazy talk!
I'm like you- I consider 40's-60's middle aged.
I would say late 40's to 60.
I have no idea how old you are. But I seriously doubt that you are middle aged!
I agree with everyone else...late 40's to 60's
That girl is just crazy!
Girl....don't even think twice about that little snoots comment. You are so far from "middle age"! Oh...and unless a woman is clearly wearing a shirt that states she is preggers.....DON'T ASK!!!! Just because I am "fluffy" does not mean I am with child.....and it pisses me off when people do that!
**ok...rant over :P
i know i'm late, but i would consider "middle aged" to be 50s-60s. ugh, i hate when people have to make comments about someone's age, appearance, etc. ita, i think some things should be left alone unless you are 150% sure (like pg).
i was at lunch a few yrs ago with a group of ppl from this training class i had to attend, and one of the guys turned to one of the women and asked 'so when are you due?' i knew she wasn't pg or had child from a previous discussion before the question was asked, and it was just terrible for me to sit there and watch her get so embarrassed and then the awkward silence. it was like watching a trainwreck in slow motion. i felt SO bad for her!
and I'm getting closer to it (sighs at the thought of my bday in a few wks) so Lord help me!!!!
I'd say that middle aged is just a buzz word and a mind set. It's all in your head. I didn't get upset when I turned 30 and even though most of my friends my age are either done having kids or about to have their last...... and while I haven't even started its all in how you feel about yourself and your life.
If you feel "middle aged" (sounds so negative) or old then you will. But if you remain, young, vibraint (like all of us!!!) and active then there is no reason to consider yourself middle aged. I don't think I've ever looked at my mom and thought she was middle aged and she'll be 61 this year!!!!
Oh and the whole "are you expecting" crap - I don't think ANYONE should ever ask that until the actual person has confirmed it and it can be discussed. Its just rude. Jess - you are TINY and there's no reason someone should say that to you.
Ok, I'm done
