You're among the youngest GenXers. MOST of us are empty nesters. You're an outlier.

I'm 54 and I have a 23 yo and a 21 yo. The 23 yo is launched. The 21 yo is a junior at VT. I'm an empty nester.

Just because you were a grannymommy doesn't make you typical. [/quote]
NP.  This was a completely obnoxious comment, but I did get a laugh at PP’s need to let us know that her child is at VT.

Back on topic, someone upthread said that all women want at this stage of life is peace and quiet.  That is certainly very true for me most days, and I’m definitely dropping more ropes every year.

My DH is great, but he does tend to put the burden of thinking on me a lot of times. It used to drive me particularly crazy that, 100% of the time, he would ask me how long to microwave a thing for, even though he microwaved lunches and snacks for himself throughout childhood and I got my first microwave in my 20s. I have let go of the resentment and now amuse myself and our teen by giving him whatever number strikes my fancy that day. “Try 47 seconds, or a minute 10. Let me know how it turns out!”[/quote]
