[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously!!!  Though I got married and had kids late - BEST DECISION EVER!  So my twenties and lower thirties were awesome.  Teens were fun but really was happiest when I was single and working.   I do try to build the fun back in...vacations with friends,  going out with friends, still seeing concerts/dancing ..my kids are are getting older now so I feel like I have more fun in my fifties then I sure did in my 40s!  Hang in there.  [/quote]

Yes.  I met my husband at 26, got married at 28, but we waited to have our kids until 34.  We had a lot of time being carefree and lots of disposable $$$.  We traveled and lived abroad and partied.  By my mid-30s I was ready to cool it for a bit.

My mom and dad had a great time as empty nesters.  They traveled so much and were always hosting dinner parties and going out to fabulous restaurants.  My mom talks about her 50s/60s as some of her happiest times---without responsibility of care-giving anymore.  I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with my kids heading to HS next year.  My kids are so independent now that the 'burden' of care-giving has lessened.  They can get up, eat, dressed, do schoolwork, out the door, without me having to say anything.  If I could just have me weekends/weeknights back from kid sports I would be lovin' it.  I will be eligible to retire when they start college.  Let the parties begin![/quote]
