What age was hard for you?

[MandiDawn]

And why?

I breezed thru turning 24, 25 . . but I hit 26 and was so upset for some reason. I think it's because I haven't "done" anything yet.

Did any of you have an age that was hard to accept?

The hardest age for me was my 30th birthday. I was so upset I cried for most of the day. Not even sure why, it was just difficult. Now each year gets better.

I love being in my 20's. I got married at 25, had a baby this year at 28. However this august I will be 29 and I know that right around the corner is 30 :eek: Oh well. I'm sure this last year of being in my 20's will be great. If not I'll do it over next year (who say's you can't be 29 forever...lol)

I think it was 28 or 29. The kids were little and our marriage was not as new. Just thought I lost me. Didn't though, here all the time, always a work in progress.

I guess 30 was difficult, but not because I was 30 though. More along the lines of the stage I was at. I was leaving my career, pregnant, somewhat new to marriage. Financially it was a difficult time too.

It's only been a little over 5 years since then and it feels like a completely different lifetime. Hard to believe how quickly time passes and how much can change.

The teen years were bad for me....I was better after I made it to 20s and older. 30 and 40 were not a problem.

I'd have to say my early teens too. I was really quiet and had trouble making friends. I don't remember a whole lot from about 20-40, seems like all I did was eat, sleep and work! :(

I guess I feel like the age I'm at now is the hardest so far - I just turned 27 a few weeks ago. I guess in part because I had hoped to own a house and have a kid by this age, and while I am married, the rest of the dream has yet to materialize. I know that I am by no means "too old" but I had always thought that I'd be there by now (there being house and kid). Maybe its just the impatience of youth!

I think age 23 was hard for me because of my 5 year class reunion. I married my senior year in high school, but was divorce less than 2 years later. I didn't go to my 5 year reunion because I felt like I hadn't accomplished anything. I felt like a failure to some degree. I guess I thought that everyone else had it all together at this age! :) Things turned around very quickly for me though. Last year was my 10 year reunion and I went feeling very proud!! I am happily married with two little darlings. Working toward getting my teaching degree. Recently lost about 25-30 pounds. I have learned a lot of life is making mistakes and learning from them. And boy am I glad I made some of those mistakes or I wouldn't have what I do today!!
