Quote messy cook: Quote gommie: LOL, know what you mean! I was too at 40, still am at 52. Four girls, three grown, two married, one 16. Lord give me strength! Quote messy cook: OK, for all you posters who are 40+: What sucks about getting older? I say, wrinkles, weight gain, and "the change!"  I honestly don't remember worrying about those kinds of things at 40- I had bigger issues..I was raising teenagers!! I had three total, and my first one was a boy, who was a handfull, and still is.That's why he makes a good cop.  My Daughter was right after him, and was a dancing doll, and still is. She is a wife,Mom, and choreographer.My baby was a smart little blondie and he still is. An aerospace Engineer.  They were busy and fun, and I'm still enjoying them, and their kids. Plus my Step kids and Grandkids too!!! A real house full, at holidays!    Yeh, Lord give us all strength!!!!

Yes Gommie, I was too!!!!But, the other issues followed, and in most ways, I would have had the kids issues back, in a heartbeat!!!! LOL..unfortunately Uggerly these things are all part of the living process...only one natural way to avoid them and I don't like that choice..  I try to think about the good things in my life and not concentrate on the things I can't change.....

Since I'm home all day recovering from ankle surgery, I get pretty lonely. It would nice to be able to chat with people (my right thumb gets tired changing channels all day long). Hi bolin- sorry about your ankle- I hope your recovery is not going to be too long-Not sure if we will be able to keep it but its worth a try- I always liked the chit chat thread- and getting acquainted with the other posters in a less hostile environment-things are not nearly as strict here as they once were- so let's hope... Thanks, gommie and mamabing15 - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU, TOO! I should find out how my ankle is tomorrow when I go for my post surgery check-up. I'll let you know! I like being able to chat with other posters as well and getting to know folks from other faraway places. I'm a little older than 40 (okay quite a few years older - my 23-year old son has always told me I'm as old as the dinosaurs, and his 27 year old brother agrees). My 23 year-old has an adorable 18-month old son (my first grandchild and the light of my life) and has a baby girl due in July (I'm looking forward to having my first girl to spoil). It's wonderful to be a grandmother: When I have him to myself, I can talk to him all the time without being interrupted, spoil him rotten, teach him something new and fun, then I can send him home with his parents and relax! Good luck bolin- hope it is good news the best time of all with grandchildren is when 'the parents' are missing..that when the fun really begins- You're absolutely right. We have the best time together! And, I can handle him when he's being naughty or just plain wants to have a fit by saying, "We don't do that" in my "I mean business" Grams' voice, and he stops it almost immediately. His parents haven't learned that trick yet! |

It's 'that's not yours'.. ..Oh my ...in time I trust he will learn that 'NO' does work-its short and to the point..and not hard to understand...LOL

He just got his first serious job and loves it!! Makes more money than his Dad!!!!

I absolutely loved turning 40. Though I don't have children, I was finally at a point in my life where I had a great marriage, career, and most of all, self confidence. I think that was the time when I realized I didn't have time to care about what people didn't like about me. It was very liberating! |

Yes, I agree with you. it seemed like 40 was a time of change, for me too. A good one, yes very liberating, in many ways.And, like you said. Mine was similar! Finally had a good man, a good job, and self respect, in my case.Most important!!! And, sometimes, getting away from a bad relationship is more liberating than anything else!
