They Say I Forget How Old I Am

[DobermanBullTerrierLove]

I wouldn't say im immature but I am light hearted and a bit opinionated lol. My mom is constantly reminding me that im 31 years old and at this age MOST women are getting married and having babies. Most women are settling down. Well I consider myself sort of settled thanks to a amazing job I own a farm house and barn. I can afford to feed myself and my animals and get all of us medical care. Would I like to get married? Someday it would be nice but im always so busy its tough meeting guys. I doubt I would ever have kids of my own I have no tolerance for pain lol. And I have a total of 8 neices and nephews which I get to spoil and load them up with sugar and send them home to their parents ;).

It just gets on my nerves. Because I choose to be different I have lost sight of my age :rolleyes:.

Age is just a number - one thing I have learned is to live each day to the full; do what you love - usually the money follows. Don't 'conform' to please friends and relatives or society at large! Enjoy life!

Dare to be different - go girl go!

I have the opposite problem.

I am 23, I got married eleven months ago to my beautiful boy. He is older than me - we have been together almost four years.

Everytime someone finds out that I am married they ALWAYS say; 'Your married?! Wow. You're so young. How old are you?'

Very frustrating!

At the end of the day, who's business is it? Nobodies!

lol You sound like me. Just turned 31. lol don't know how that happened. I have a house that I share with a girlfriend. Would like to get married some day but mr right has not come along I guess. I have a horse that I board at a great stable. My Dog Coda. and two fish lol. I can take care of myself and my animals and have a great time with it. My mom keeps reminding me lately that the clock is ticking. I know she is just bugging but I got out of a really crappy relationship and now i'm just really picky lol :D

Hello DobermanBullTerrierLove,
I was married at 20 and had 2 kids by the age 24. I missed out on lots of things in my life. What's more, I got so involved with providing comfort for the family that I didn't get to know myself untill I hit 40. Mariage and motherhood are not compulsory thank God, they are a matter of your choice. I say: Good for you! If love comes along - great. If not - fine too. You live the life you want, that's the main thing. We comply too much - who can tell you what is right or wrong for you? Trust yourself only.
Lovely dogs you have! :)

Some people just aren't cut out for parenthood or marriage. My brother just got married last year at 60! His wife is 52. First marriage for both. I don't think I was cut out to be a parent despite tremenous pressure. I was always more interested in my work. Just live your life the way that fulfills you. Your parents can't live it for you.

Sometimes you don't know which decision is the right one until you've made it and had to live with it for a few years. And family and friends aren't always right either. If you feel like you're not missing anything and enjoying your life, then go for it. You only get one so you might as well live it your way and not according to other peoples' standards. :)
