non-clicky poll: age
does your age make you depressed?
this came up at work.. my boss is turning 59 and looks seriously 35 at the most, besides the hair color.. but she looks so good.. anyway, she said she is depressed because of her age.. then my other coworker who is 40ish said it bugs her too.. i've noticed a couple people worried about their age.. i just wanted to see how everyone else felt.
we're having twins!
Re: non-clicky poll: age
I keep teasing about turning 30 this year, but it doesn't depress me.
I feel like I'm at a really good place in my life.

jumped ship to the new and improved nest. back to TB for baby boards.
I ask myself the same question. Every time I get a little bummed I think about all the good things I still have to look forward too, plus I just think about people older than me

I try to just remind myself that getting older sure beats the alternative. I'll be 31 in May - whatever. I'm having the time of my life now with DH and I figure somehow, everything will work out the way it should, and one day we'll have a family of some form.
I'm not hung up on actually needing to *have* kids - and even if we have some biologically, we'll still probably try to adopt. And if we never have kids, I'm sure we'll still have a plenty fulfilling life.
The worst day above ground is still better than being below ground, IMO.
heh, this
my baby age is also 30, so not too worried there yet, either
Nah. Most of my/our friends are older than us -- like, our regular gaming group mostly graduated high school the year I was born -- which makes me feel like "age" just isn't really a "thing", you know?
And, really, ever since we bought the house and have a mortgage and all of that, I feel like we're planning for the long-term anyway, so where we are chronologically isn't so much a stopping-point as it is a way-marker, y'know?

Generally speaking, my age doesn't bother me. I'm 33. I do get a little bummed when I think about the fact that we're not going to have a large family (because my body is working against me, and adoption is expensive, frankly).
I was hanging out with two friends on Saturday. I don't feel old compared to them (I think they're both 24/25), but one of them made a comment about how she doesn't work with anyone her own age, and that all of them are kind of old, "Like, in their late 20s or 30s." (In her defense, she may not honestly know how old I am.) That made me feel old.

The only thing about my age that makes me twitch is the fact that we only started having children now. If it was up to me, our whole timeline of marriage babies would have been 4 years ago, not now.
And it's one of the only ways D realized we were getting old and having kids whenever is not really an option, when I told him if we had our first kid at 40 years old, we would be 60 by the time they were 20 and still in college. He kind of turned pale. :P
