[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt this way too but 1) you don’t look back after your kid is like 3-4 yrs old and 2) honestly you’re already old and uncool being 40 and childless doesn’t make you young or cool you’re just old. [/quote]

OP here. This is true. But the childless older women I know seem to have managed to retain a sense of cool or sophistication. They do not have the mom cuts or unflattering suits or stressed out harried look about them. They're composed, stylish and have many interests...I think being a mother takes that away from you...or so it appears from the outside.[/quote]

[b]I am a mom (of middle schoolers no less!) and I am none of those things. But I only work very part time and spend the rest of the time taking care of myself (gym, hair/clothes) , attending cultural events, staying plugged in and, frankly, chilling out! [/b]I think it depends more how cool you were before you had kids. Most of the grumpy, boring moms were that way in their 20s, too![/quote]

lololol so basically marry someone rich and don't work! [/quote]
