At my advanced age I do find it funny when a bunch of 23 year-olds lecture a 20 year old about how they're too young to get married. Hahaha, true. I noticed a lot of people in the "Where were you" thread were in high school on 9/11.
I totally get thinking individual brides who happen to be younger are stupid. Honestly, most people my own age annoy me. But saying that anyone under a certain age (if it's over the legal age obviously) is too young to be married annoys me, as does immediately questioning someone's age whenever they say something dumb.
AC-I was thinking the same thing. But I am an old lady and kind of group those 21-24 year olds in with the 20 year olds. Flame away but I have been there and done that. Trust me, who you are at 25 is (in most cases) very different than who you were at 18 and 30 is a whole new ballgame.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

Sarahnvinny irritates the crap out of me, not sure why other than misspelling habits several times. And I only start to like kids (the age varies for everyone) when they act like normal human beings, i.e. not screaming at people, acting like spoiled brats, being picky eaters and refusing food as guests, interrupting everyone, etc. For some kids this never applies, for others, I won't be their friend even when they're 45. There are some times that just "being a kid" is cute and completely normal, there are other times when people should control their fuucking offspring!
At my advanced age I do find it funny when a bunch of 23 year-olds lecture a 20 year old about how they're too young to get married. THIS^ I too found it amazing that so many were still in HS. It was my 2nd wedding anniversary with my ex-H. Should have known it wouldn't last.
At my advanced age I do find it funny when a bunch of 23 year-olds lecture a 20 year old about how they're too young to get married. I've never poked fun at an individual bride for being young. I know 23 is young. I have rolled my eyes at many a girl for thinking that dating for two years in high school means it's gonna last forever.
At my advanced age I do find it funny when a bunch of 23 year-olds lecture a 20 year old about how they're too young to get married.One reason I never do that. I was married at 22, so who am I to tell someone that they are too young to get married.
Smokey-I know that FI and I will both change over time, and I can only hope that we are willing to accommodate those changes. My parents got married at 34 (for the second time actually), and they still couldn't keep it together.
Oh, I have a flame! I hate it when people IRL say that I can't understand such and such because I don't have kids. Or (when I've said in the past that I wasn't sure I wanted kids), they'd say, "Oh, I can't imagine life without my kids. You have to have kids. It's so rewarding!" Yeah, blah blah blah, vom.

At my advanced age I do find it funny when a bunch of 23 year-olds lecture a 20 year old about how they're too young to get married. I found this amusing, too. I also think 23 is too young (as a general rule), but there are too many of them here to make fun of. I actually have several friends who married young & are still together--they are absolutely great together. It definitely depends on the couple. Unfortunately, I've seen the marriages of a lot of friends just crash & burn, because one or both of the partners changed so much from 19 to 24.
Daff being hypocritical about dress opinions. She can hate strapless dresses, and will tell you about it. But you can't dislike long sleeved dresses and say it around her or she'll attack you. when did this happen?cacoffer, yeah we're definitely cool. sidenote, i used to get you mixed up with corcoreo or whatever her login is. she's the irritating one imo.
TLV, does this mean that if I refuse to eat chicken at your house because I will, in all likelihood, afterwards throw it up, we can't be friends?

Trust me, who you are at 25 is (in most cases) very different than who you were at 18 and 30 is a whole new ballgame.I absolutely agree, but I will also be very different at 35 than when I'm 30, and I don't plan on waiting an extra 15 years just because so I can do all of my "growing up" by myself. I did all of my maturing up until 24 pretty much on my own. From here on out, DH is a part of how I change as a person.I just think that's a weird way to look at it. Of course you're different, everyone changes when they age. I plan to change along with my husband from now on. My parents got married at 32 and hated each others guts within 10 years.

Mandy-It was a nickname from one of my friends. My name is in fact Gwen (short for Gwendolyn, so that's not much better). I've used it as a sn since high school, and I'm too lazy to change.
I am religious. I am waiting til marriage. I am also 23, my FI is 27 and we've been dating for over six years and living together for 2.5.As long as you are aware that everyone and their mom assumes that you fuuck like bunnies... and you're okay with that. I never understood the idea of waiting until you're married to live together. But I also assumed that once you live under one roof, when you share a shower and see each other nekkid on a regular basis, that you'd obviously be banging each other also. And this is def the case with FI and I... and his parents can cry me a river a mile long, I don't care. Their son is hottness.

Ha no, I do realize that lots of people have actual issues with certain foods, I just get really fed up when I see parents bringing their kids separate chicken nuggets to eat just because they're whiny, when all of the adults are eating something normal like salad, chicken breast, beans, etc. If we were eating sushi or hot wings or something I understand it, but the times I'm talking about the kids really are just being whiny and the parents are enabling. I know for a fact there were no "sensory issues" or allergies involved.
BTW, I didn't mean to say that 23 is too young to get married. I'm no expert. I know the stats I've read mention 28 as an age above which more marriages succeed, but we can't all plan when things happen (eg, me not having a baby 'til now). It's just funny b/c from my perspective it's just youngsters calling other youngsters too young
I was also in high school for 9/11 (missed that thread, I wasn't here all day), but I've never made fun of someone for being too young to get married. I agree that relationships in high school are different than in college which are different than "real life," but it's not my place to judge someone for that. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It may or may not have anything to do with when they got married. I have no idea. It's none of my business.
As long as you are aware that everyone and their mom assumes that you fuuck like bunnies... and you're okay with that.Believe me, I'm aware. Apparently the possibility that we're not never crosses anyone's mind, and yeah, friends make comments. Awkward, but less awkward than setting the record straight in most cases.
tlv-I totally understand the food thing. I can understand a real problem (missy), but not just because a kid doesn't like it. My FSIL makes 3 or 4 different dinners most nights (for 4 people) because the kids don't eat much. My mom put food on the table, and if we didn't like it, we didn't eat. But if we were hungry we ate. The kids will never try anything new if they just get chicken nuggets every night.

I live with Buddy and I wish we resembled bunnies at least a little bit more. Due to travel and such, I think we might be coming up on a solid month of no sex - maybe once in that whole time.My mother likes to bury her head in the sand and will occasionally say "but you have your own bedroom, right?"She knows, of course, that that is not the case but she would truly like to think it was.
On bed rest since Groundhog's Day and every day since has been exactly the same. Blog
TLV- My cousin and my mom sort-of-ex-boyfriend's daughter would not eat anything when they were younger, and my cousin still doesn't at almost 13. I do generally like kids, but their eating habits annoy me sometimes to, especially since I ate things like sushi and Indian food.
