My baby boy is 20 today! He is my first and only son, after him I had 3 girls! It's odd but mentally I feel the same age as him and, although I am his mother I feel like his friend too, especially as he is now living and working away from home. Of course I worry about him, I am only human, but it is a lovely feeling having the eldest doing well. All those mistakes a first time mum makes obviously didn't do him any harm!!!
Number one daughter will never leave (darned Autism) but two and three have a good few years left at home. And all those foster babies waiting to be loved will be welcomed wholeheartedly!

Old????
No way, my grandson turns 21 this year and I still feel like a spring chicken

 

[KatStabe]

[knittingnut214]

No way. i have grandchildren older than that.

Me too....and some days I look at that and feel old...other days I just "bounce" around....

As the saying goes you are only as old as you feel.
Seems you feel young.


Age is a state of mind.

I have not decide what I will be when I grow up.

There are so many more.

So don't let it be, you are a spring chicken lady.

My daughter is 45, and my son is 42 in November.

My eldest grandson is 21, and I have a great granddaughter of 3yrs old, so no, I don't think you need to feel old at all.

Happy birthday!

i feel old also, my eldest being 43,and i have an autistic grandson who we know will never be able to leave home and live independantly. we worry constantly what will happen to him in the future when grandparents and parents are no longer here to support him.

In my opinion, "old" is all a matter of perspective - NOT number of years you've been alive.

I was married at the age of 16, ALL of my children (5) were born by the time I was 25. I've been divorced 2 times, now happily single, have 11 Grandchildren (35 - 3 years old)and 6 Great Grandchildren and two more waiting to be born. I was told by one of my Grandaughters I was her "Best Friend", my own children call me at least once a week (the 3 that live in other States), and I see my other 2 children every single day!!!! I am always on the go to social events either with my family, or best friend, and travel to visit with my children out of state. In fact, I'm so busy that I hire someone to maintain my lawn and gardening because I am very seldom at home to do it myself. My age is 76 - I feel the same way as I did when I was 25 BUT much wiser and with more weight! Live life to the fullest and you will never get "old"!

Thank you for all the brilliant advice, I feel fantastic now and it's all due to KP.!!!

My oldest daughter is 47, the next one is 45, the third one is 41 and the youngest just turned 21. I have 9 grandchildren and 4 of them are older than my youngest daughter.

My thought's on aging at the moment?
John Denver said it well "some days are diamonds, some days are stones"

You are only as old as you allow yourself to be! I am going through my second childhood and looking forward to my third!

 

[smartiedriver]

No way !

My great grand-daughter is twenty eight, her brother twenty five and their younger sister twenty one. Do I feel old, HUH, only in the mornings when its time to get up and my bed clings. My mind stills thinks I`m in my youth still and they all say that I don`t act like a `Granny` should, however that is.
My great-grand children come to see me through choice rather than their grandmothers, whoops! As I do things interesting with them. let them make pizza`s, walk the dogs, etc. and they keep me young in mind.
You`re as young as you want and at this age all I can say is thank God I made it this far, don`t ever let me get a misery. Life should be lived and enjoyed, because no-one ever got out of it alive. ROFL

 

[nanacari]

You're not old at all I have a great-grandchild who will soon turn 18 and 9 younger ones behind him. Age is only a date on a birth certificate.

 

[devers]

Old? I don't think so! But more importantly, what is your avatar? I'm dying to see a larger photo of it. Clue me in. With an avatar like that, you're definitely YOUNG!

 

[kdb]

My oldest daughter is 22yrs old and my youngest is 19yrs old, I just do not know where time has gone.
