Same here.

OP needs to expand their interests beyond curtain-twitching.

What an odd question. OP, do you live in a house, TH, or condo? Where?

When I was 50 my youngest of four was 20 and already in college. You know a lot of old parents.


Not really. 50 with a 13 year old (youngest) LOTS of moms in his class are 50+.

I'm in my 50s and I plan to go to a Cure gig as soon as they get to town.

Haha, no pot here but finally have the time to have lots of sex whenever we want now that the kids are out of the house. Way more fun than running errands all weekend!

By 50-52 everyone in my circle was an empty nester and we didn't marry until after grad schools.


Well, today, in my circle 50-year-olds usually still have one elementary kid.

I am mid-40s. I have stayed home all weekend most weekends since I had kids in my mid-30s. Why? Because I am running ragged all week working and kid activities. On weekends we stay home and do nothing most of the time. MYOB.

Who wants to go fight the crowds on weekends if they don't have to?

Take your meds, grandma. Maybe your kids will want to visit you again someday.


I don't need to see my grandkids. There are plenty of others I care.

Why are you so interested in their schedules?
