I began to feel old when it was, likely, the last time I'd do something. Water ski, figure skate, were examples in my 40s. At 60+ anytime I can't walk with a smooth gait, I feel I look old.

When you are an older parent (as OP is, and as I am), it can be kind of embarrassing to the kids. It's not very nice, but it's true. Putting aside botox, I think that it's very much appreciated by my DD (age 14) that I do color over my grey hair, so that I do not look "old." (So many women have let their hair go grey since COVID. Unfortunately, it ages them unnecessarily by 20 years. And yet it's easily avoidable with a bit of time and money - in terms of hair coloring every 6-8 weeks.) |
I am 62 and don't feel old (well some days) and I have tried botox a few times and did not think it helped much; I do get my roots colored; other wise I am looking my age I guess. |
Oh, and I have a 17 year old HS Jr who sometimes literally tucks me in at night. We laugh about it. I text and ask him to tuck me in and he tucks the covers under me so I am rolled like a buritto. He asked why I was going to be so early on Sunday. It was 9:30. So I do need to go to bed earlier unless I am out at an event or with friends or a special occassion. |
This makes me so sad. I just started figure skating and have no intention of stopping. I’m 49. |
