[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm also in my mid-fifties. I have two grown children who are married. I've been married for 30 years. I have two master's degrees and I work full time in respected field. I have the house with all the expected  things one would have by this point in the suburban family world- nothing extreme, though. I'm not  a formal person- kind of casual.

Would it surprise you that I really only feel like a grown up when I wear high heels? ( Which isn't that often...) I am NOT kidding- this is true about me- and I am ALWAYS surprised when someone alludes to my age as older- for instance if they compare me to their mom or something like that. I think it's pretty strange, but it's all perception and attitude, I guess. :D [/quote]

Its a boomer thing. (I am 57) We played at being adults for awhile in our 20s then the thing was to act like an adolescent. There is not the "grown up" thing that our parents had. Be a man; be a woman. That concept is not really part of it. I guess be a professional does imply being grown up.[/quote]
