[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of setting up retirement financing. Recently took our kids on a hiking type trip, I had trouble keeping up and staying up late with them. My teens are 16, 15, and 13. Both DH and I are 59. I’m glad we did the trip but this was our last one like this. I never felt or accepted that i was old but with 60 around the corner, I now do. I’m still getting botox and fillers but i’m thinking of stopping; two of my kids told me not to stop! To keep doing it until they are done with college, how do you like that![/quote] Instead of admitting defeat, why not use the hiking trip as motivation to improve your physical health and fitness? I'm a coupke years younger than you with same age kids and I hike weekly. I consider it part of parenting as an older mom to keep myself in shape. I've never messed with botox or fillers because being fit is a fountain of yourh.[/quote] I am 49 with kids the OP's age and recently went hiking and am thinking of starting botox. . So I identify in many ways. I could not keep up on the hike but they periodically stopped for me to catch up. I do not stay up late and have no issues with that! So I feel older, certainly, but my current thinking is to see where I can improve as the PP suggested. So I lift, but don't do enough cardio. I need to add more flexibility. I agree that being fit is the fountain of youth but it does nothing for my 11s. (I'm surprised your kids tell you not to stop botox; my daughters tell me not to start - most teens seem much more accepting of their parents' natural states than when I was a teen)[/quote]
