Happy early birthday!

maratea · January 2012

26. I almost had a panic attack when I realized I'll be 27 this year. I don't know why. 30 doesn't bother me, but for some reason 27 is scary.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · January 2012

28 next month.

I'm 25, and I seem to be in the middle/high end of the pack. There are a lot of just out of high school kids. I hate them and their ample time.

lbarr088 · January 2012

23 ... FI is 24.

SereJane · January 2012

I'm 21, H is 22

arwo · January 2012

Ha! I'm glad a couple of people understand what I am talking about with the "other people have so much more time!" thing. I thought maybe I was being self-pitying and whiny.

My parents got married when my mom was 19 (dad was 20), and my mother had two kids and a PhD by the time she was 28. I'll be lucky if I get my PhD before I'm 38. And I have to find time to pop a couple of kids out too. Wah wah wah.

LetsHikeToday · January 2012

I'm 30 and H is 29. I don't feel 30 though. Not that I know what 30 would feel like but sometimes I still think, "holy shIit, I'm in charge of teaching kids for a living" because I don't feel all that grown up.

[QUOTE]I'm 29. I am in no way judging younger (as in early 20's or younger) brides. But, it's just strange for me to think about people getting married at that age, because I was definitely NOT ready/thinking about it until I was 26 and had been dating H for 2 years. I was way too selfish (not the right word - immature, maybe?) to make that kind of commitment to someone when I was in my early 20's. Edited for spelling
Posted by LP11509[/QUOTE]

Do you think you'd feel that way if you'd met your H when you were younger? My fi and I will be 23 and 24 when we get married, but we've known each other since we were 18, and dating since we were 19. I think we were less mature when we started dating, but the maturity came along with the relationship, not necessarily just the age.

celticmyss · January 2012

I am 32, FH is 35.

We joked when he hit 35 that he is now old enough to be President, but too old for the military.

adamar15 · January 2012

Arwo, EVERYONE around me is popping out kids. I'm going to be the old mom. Whatever, I'm going to Europe before I have kids.

Same here. My mom had 3 kids and the oldest was 13 at the age I am now.

But.. she was also on the road to divorce, trying to get a second degree because her first was something she did - not something she loved, and trying to learn how to cook. So I think i'm doing pretty wel and try not to compare at all.

<div>Oh no, I feel it. DH and I have a deal now. If I have no problem conceiving and we can have them 'bam, bam, bam', then he can have the three he wants.

I'll be 36 for a few months yet and H turns 40 this summer. However we both have the maturity of 12 year olds.

I pretty much could have written this. H wants 3, but I won't have kids after I am 40. (Of course, once I hit 40, I suppose I could change my mind.)

I've known my H since we were 13, and I wasn't ready to settle down with anyone until about a week before we started dating at 26. (In fact, we had an impromptu "date" about 4 months before we started actually dating, but then I ignored him for four months because I wasn't ready.) On our first real date, I knew that it was on, for real. So for me, I think it wouldn't have mattered.

[QUOTE]LP, I totally get what you're saying. When I graduated college, a bunch of GF's were getting married and while I was happy for them, I just wasn't thinking on those terms yet. I really didn't even think about marriage until my late 20's when I just about 'settled' for a guy. Thank god, I didn't. Even if I had met my H at, say 24, I don't think we would have ended up together. I just wasn't ready to settle down at that age. Let alone, under 20.
Posted by jcbsjr[/QUOTE]

I was totally ready to settle down at 20 (when H and I met). Not necessarily marriage, but with "the one." I even told him before our first date, if he wasn't looking for something serious, then don't bother (this is probably why no one ever asked me out before, ha).

That makes it sound like I chose the first guy who came along, but that's not how it was. H just happened to work out perfectly.

I actually turned H down 3 times initially when he was trying to ask me out. We joke about it now. Thankfully, he was more stubborn than me in the end. I did say yes the first/only time he proposed, though.
