They'll learn the world at their own pace and they don't need browbeating by some dad-lookin' guy. I only intervened when I thought they were being rude or when they were straight-up wrong.

I'm the opposite. It used to drive me crazy if people were late or time was wasting. I got incredibly anxious if I was late and felt awful if I wasted someone's time. Now that I'm older and have raised kids and have gotten treatment for my own issues, I'm better at managing my own time and patience. So I don't let people down as often, and I have a lot more patience and understanding if other people lose track of time or make me wait. I have tons of things I can do in the meantime. I've come to think of punctuality as an ableist concept. There's so many people with executive functioning issues and mobility issues that might make them slower or bad at time management, and so many people who just need more compassion. I'm much more flexible these days. And if people are casually or callously wasting my time? I can gently drop them from my life, it's pretty easy to do that and makes for less drama. No biggie.

They all still want them. And they said, “it's cool because no one wears them that long anymore”. Case in point, the next day I saw a teen wearing a pair, only they stopped just above her ankles. didn't think that look could get worse but the kids have gone and done it."

Honestly, I think part of this is that you see more "teenagers" on TV and in movies than IRL, and Hollywood casts people in their 30s as teenagers, so you get a skewed idea of how people age. A complementary example: I'm literally at the age the Golden Girls were, but I don't look as old as they did. Styling has changed a LOT.

On the bright side: finally having the time for art, crochet, needlework and all those things I dreamed of doing before retiring!

lol I noticed this too and was 38 when I finally watched the show a couple years ago xD That house is freaking gorgeous! It was hard to pay attention to scenes inside the house because of it, although that's probably the ADHD rather than age 😂

lol I get this, but I like to expand my music repertoire so I'm always listening to "new" bands and artists I haven't heard of before, even if they've been around for awhile.

Right. It's still odd to me that there are adults who have careers, are the head of their household, are married with kids.... that don't recall September 11th because they weren't born yet.

When I was out jogging I was approaching a young mother and her child (the kid must have been around 5 or 6) and the mother said to the kid "let the gentleman pass". I 100% honestly looked over my shoulder thinking some other bloke was behind me until I realised I was the "gentleman"

"I'm in my early 40's, I literally just attended the funeral of my best friend from my childhood this past Thursday. Died the day after his 42nd birthday from a coronary event. After going my first ~15 years or so without anyone I knew dying, my last 25 years has been a series of deaths and funerals. My dad, grandparents, family friends, a ton of kids from my HS. Before, it used to be extended people or older relatives - but here lately, it's people I know/knew well. And no longer car accidents, but terminal illnesses and things."

I still enjoy feel young and enjoy rewatching shows like Monty Python, The Goodies and Man About The House that I grew up on...then I realise two of the Pythons are dead, as is one of the Goodies, and Richard O'Sullivan is in a retirement home
