It's that time again...

Well.

In three days I will be 29.

Until this year, I had always looked forward to my birthday.

I was born when my Mother was 29 and when I was growing up, I promised my unborn children that I would never be so old before I brought them into the world. Obviously I lied.

My Mother decided to stop aging at 29. She is now 29 with a few years experience

My grama had my mom when she was 27, and my mom had me when she was 27. It was always my plan to have a child when I was 27. I can't even THINK about kids until I'm 30

Oh please!! Do you really think you’d be happy with two kids an unfaithful husband that no longer loves you and a fifty year mortgage on a house that you’ll never pay off? This isn’t the world our parents grew up in, you would be a fool to gage your quality of life based off your perception of theirs. Suck it up and get out and have some fun!

Oh please.

What aofi said. Basing your life on the previous generation is silly these days. Plus basing your life on what OTHERS have done is useless, as you aren't them. Plus I'm sorry... but nobody "stops aging".

My Mom was in her late 30's when she had me. In the 60's. That was unheard of back then. By your logic, she was "old". I'm sorry, but I can hardly view 29 as "so old", as you put it.

"When you're 29, you should be married with kids..."According to the gospel of St. Whom

Hugz....

It can be hard when we set ourself goals to achive or have expecations of ourselves and don't meet them. However you can continue to beat yourself up over it or you can forgive yourself and move on. Worry is like a rocking chair - a whole lot of motion and doesnt get you anywhere. So your having your midlife crisis a little eariler than most ;). Its time to turn a new leaf and make a new life from where you stand now.

I know we havn't had too much of a chance to hang out - I really wish we were able to more, but such is life I guess. Hugz and happy thoughts!

Hey,

I'm not going to give you heck for feeling the way you do. I'm sorry that things are rough for you right now and hope that you can get through this phase of your life.

The only other thing I want to add is that 30 is the new 20. It's true! According to my calculations that makes me 25 :-)
