Please tell your husband Happy Birthday for us. I just turned 29.....let him know we are not ancient!

Oh yes I forgot you could tell him he could be my age.. I know I am not Ancient!!

Well, I've heard that 40 is the "new 30," so logically, 30 must be the "new 20!"

Tell him happy birthday for me! Maybe a little cake and ice cream will cheer him up

**mruffruff** · 12-07-2006, 12:13 PM

He has at least 30 more to go, so cheer up!

Every year after I turned 40 was better than the last. That was 24 years ago. I started doing all those things I was afraid to try, stopped letting anyone tell me what to do or how to live, decided to make ME happy. All within reason, of course.

I wouldn't want to be young again. It's so much better to be (sorta) wise!

Or maybe I'm just a wise a$$.

Tell him men are not classed as men until they are 30... They know enough to be men, know how to act, know who they are, etc ... and another 30 my foot- try another 60 years by todays standard, so now he has all that time to take the ball and run with being a man... lol..

I recently heard that 50 is the new 30. I'm 55 so I guess I'm REALLY ancient.

For my 30th birthday I subpoenaed all my friends to a party. My birthday was on a Saturday that year so I subpoenaed them to a "Final Friday of my 20's" party. I think I still have the subpoena somewhere. It was a fun party at the London Wine Bar in San Francisco. I don't remember too much about the evening, probably because I drank too much AND it was like a million years ago!

Tell hubby 30 is NOT old at all! That's when you're just getting good at being an adult and it DOES get better. My 40's are still my favorite decade.

Get over it honey!! I just turned 41. You're as old as you feel and as old as you want to feel. He doesn't know what ancient is. Ancient is my ex-grandfather in law who lived to be 101 years old, that's ancient.

LOL
I can totally relate to your husband's feelings. I turned the big (and dreaded) 30 this past year and felt rather traumatized. I refuse to accept that I'm an adult, and so when people ask me how old I am, I simply say I'm 25 with 5 years experience....

Sometimes it takes them awhile to figure it out. LOL

I am 46 and my grand parents lived well into their 90's and great grandparents into 100... When I look back- 30 feels young..

30 was much tougher for me than 40, for some reason, at least at first. Maybe it was the black roses my then husband sent to me! Grrrrrrr! And my life totally changed when I was 30 as I went through a divorce, moved off on my own with my then 2 year old daughter and our cat (Mimi). I sort of look at it as my life began at 30! Tell your hubby to get over it and enjoy being "30 something".
