*BIG SIGH* Today is the first day of school for my daughter, she is in the 7th grade, junior high. She also turned 13 at the beginning of this month so I am officially a mother of a teenage girl. Today happens to also be my birthday and I am now officially in the over 30 catagory. Who wants to buy me some strong liquor?

You can buy your own strong liquor. Your days of being asked for ID as you do so are done as well

So what was it like? Y'know. Back before...dirt.

Oh wait! Now I remember! Darn alzheimers!

Pssst!!

Also: The Child™ started 7th grade last week (what IS it with the rest of the world running so behind... >.> <.< ), and I'm well past the over 30 category. You're only as old as you make yourself believe. Hence I'm still young, and have fun.

It's not so much that I am 31 that makes me feel so old, it's my 13 year old that does. I do believe you're as old or young as you feel, but that also applies to how old your kid makes you feel :P.

Today is my oldest niece's 18th birthday. I remember the day that girl was born like it was yesterday. I was but a wee twelve-years-old...Damn I'm depressed now.

I have a SG mate that served tours of duty in Vietnam. And I have you beat nearly by a decade. OP - you're not even close to being old.

Mine's just a few months younger. I still don't feel old.

I feel ya 2short! Mine is 2 months from being 13 and is almost my height and just asked me to buy his first car..... a 1969 Camaro... Thank goodness they want too much for it and my son has a sensible side! And yes it makes me feel old. So does the fact that instead of playing video games with me he wants to go work out at the gym....

Happy Birthday!

No. You've merely surpassed "old", "really old" and "watched the birth of the universe" and are at the point of "So immortality IS possible".

August 27th was my only niece's birthday. She turned 35! I don't remember the day she was born too clearly though, because I, fortunately, was only 8 at the time.

So happy birthday, all you youngsters! And stay off my damn lawn!

Yeah, that's what I thought, one night back in the summer the Mother in law unexpectedly took our children and it was the long weekend with lots of activity in town. We decided to go to a couple of bars and I was thinking, oh the days of using my fake ID and worrying about sneaking in underage or just about finally being 19 and still being nervous about getting carded .. are over! BUT wrong! I am 32 and hadn't been out in ages, I definitely got carded, TWICE! I couldn't believe it! Ironically, I have NEVER been carded in a Liquor Store or Beer Store.

2short: maybe going out and getting carded will help you feel better

Oh and happy belated Birthday, I was "absent" for a little bit.

My newborn (well 2 months now) did something miraculous last night.

HE DIDN'T WAKE UP UNTIL 7!!!

Unfortunately for my wife me and him were sleeping downstairs as I was giving her a night off, and meanwhile upstairs my 3 year old woke up 3 times and kept sneaking into our bedroom and waking my wife up (until she gave in and let my daughter sleep in my spot)

LOL, this is an on going problem for us as well, my little one just turned 5 and is still sleepwalking into our bed almost every night , no matter how many times I put her back. It's quite exhausting... ( she has been doing this since age 3, for the first two years though she slept through the night in her crib~ I knew it was too good to last)

/em me sneak into your bed.
