In all seriousness, I think it's sandwich generation stuff... raising kids in a time where very hands-on parenting is the norm, often while working a full-time job, while juggling aging parents.

Also, marital division of labor issues in two working-parent families. Many women my age (40) were raised that they could do anything and that has turned into doing everything.


I don't think parents of young children quality as "middle aged" they are younger women with different issues.


If you are 40 are you not middle aged? I would like to think I will live to be 90 but that's not realistic.


Now 30-40 year old women with young kids are middle aged? When do you become a senior citizen? 45?


Most people use 65 as the lone for seniors. People in their 20s are young adults. And 40 is in the middle. "Middle age" has always meant 40s.

Many in their 40s have young kids, I am one.


Another issue is being erased by people like the above ^ who aren't even middle aged but want to dominate the conversation and make it about them. Pretty much nobody wants to acknowledge middle aged women, including younger women.

None of these are specific to 2024. Saggy necks, loss of vitality, feeling insignificant have been a scourge for middle aged women since the beginning of time. Wear a scar or have surgery, get on HRT, find a passion or two.

Middle age is 45-65. Dual working parents with young kids at 40 have problems but they are not middle aged problems.

Weird health issues that are more common because of unknown reasons (microplastics? pesticides? who knows!), and the medical community isn't taking our issues seriously.
