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".

I couldn't WAIT to turn 30. Things get better with age. I never understood geting upset over turning 30 (or 40, 50, etc) since its all just a number, nothing else. Its how you feel, emotionally and physically that counts.

I concur with Queen of Poop: get over it!

My husband just turned 25 last week. His mom told him he was "a quarter way to dead". I told Justin to take it as a compliment because that means his mom expects him to live to 100.

My husbands friend turns 30 on Saturday. His wife is throwing him a little party with some of his closest friends. I don't think he cares too much that he's turning 30.

When my mother-in-law turned 40 she had a party thrown for her. Someone gave her a key chain that read "here's my keys, now where's the car?" When she first looked at the key chain and read it aloud she read it as "here's my keys, now where's the cat?" With a puzzled look on her face she said "that's cute, but I don't get it". It was funny and very memorable (she still gets teased about it years later).

He's just 15 twice!

"It's not how old you are...it's how you are old."

and

"Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative."

Ancient? Now come on...I'm almost 41

I understand him having a hard time though. When I turned 40 this year it made me feel extremely old, I just can't believe how time flies. Kinda felt to me like 1/2 of my life was over and before I know it, it will be over!

Hope he starts feeling better about it!
