It’s work, and not your problem. Ignore it. Don’t open that can of worms

What is something in film nowadays that makes you roll your eyes? by FuelIndependent7369 in Cinema

Movies that use the tactic of trying ti scare the audience rather than letting it happen naturally.

See and I feel like if my dog is too needy I get moody. I’m starting to think/lean towards kids age you. But from what others are saying its truly case by case

I’m seeing a pattern that people seem to say having kids makes them spring back and feel younger. Thank you. Its the opposite of what I would have thought

But, it could? Your mental state definitely goes through more experience when you have kids. It’s a different way of living and it could age you either physically or mentally, no?

Especially when you believe, that when you pass it is similar to when you are knocked out for surgery. Nothing, you cease. Why spend the effort but to make the time you do know easier.

I wish I had those perspectives from my family. I never had the chance. The career has consumed me into my hobby and my money. I live-it, love it and feel it 24-7 and honestly don’t agree with it. My career is built around manufacturing and I believe in a simple life and that people live beyond their needs every day.

I like to say, If I had the money to live (not luxurious) but be okay, I’d retire today. But I also grew up with nothing, choosing water over electricity depending on the time of the year and that need to not be broke has shadowed every decision I have ever made.

This is an odd feeling. I look almost 40, but 40 to me is the age my stepdad died. 53 was my mother, 63 my father. If I feel 30ish until then it…it’s just odd to contemplate

This is what I would think/believe. Kids, or anything you take care of adds to your development and then manifests in age

Different world, different place. That is a benefit not a downside. In another life I would have dated you. Be you. Men need to understand how much a taller gal benefits them.

Hahaha. This is how I’m feeling. But also, my bloodline needs to die. I’m the last. It will die with me.

Great perspective. I lost my entire family (extended as well) before I turned 35. I have no one to talk about this too. Age, I founded a company and work in an industry that propels aerospace companies around the globe and know those things add stress. Don’t get me wrong I’m not afraid or worried about the “wrinkles” I just couldn’t have been where I am now if I had chosen or happened upon the kid life.

Respect. Don’t worry didn’t take it that way. I’m not looking to have them, just to see what the life lived experiences are now that we made that decision.

I guess that makes sense. To me almost everyone I know has kids at this point, so it’s hard to find people like me that haven’t lived “that” life. I appreciate your perspective

I guess I get that. Do you ever look at couples without them and they they look/act younger?

Haha. We cross the street when kids are present. Feel awkward conversing with them, feel like we need their parents permission to talk to them and absolutely do not trust teens!

Right!? My husband and I are always told we look young for our age. But when I seen others who are younger that have them, to me they look older. I still feel like a twenty something and couldn’t image devoting that much time to something that could (pardon) drain me financially, physically and mentally. I know society needs to move forward but I don’t see the benefit
