Two years older than this guy, and I don‘t particularly like him, but I totally get this feeling.

readinginthedark Yep, 31 now and still in the "What do I want to do with my life?" stage. ? 6y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark 33 and I know what I‘d do in a perfect world, but still no clue how that translates into real world skills or anything. I‘m stating to think I‘m going to have to give up my life long dream of having kids.😢 6y
readinginthedark ? This is obviously a personal decision with a lot of factors, but if that's what you want, there's still time! Modern medicine is amazing, and you have many years before you're even in the "at-risk" range for having children. 6y

GingerAntics @readinginthedark only 2. You‘re geriatric pregnancy and at higher risk starting at 35. I always promised myself I wouldn‘t get pregnant unless I knew the guy was going to stick around. Now, I take care of my mother after a stroke. Not sure I‘m going to find someone willing to take both of us on. lol 6y
readinginthedark Huh. I thought it was 40. Well anyway, if it makes you feel any better, my stupid kidneys put me at risk for a bunch of the same crap even at this age, so whatever. I get what you mean, though, that's a lot. Just know that you have options! Don't give up on your dreams. Sometimes things crop up when we least expect them. 6y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark for the most part I‘m still looking and holding out hope. I have these odd maudlin moments. I know it‘s so cliche and considered anti-feminist (which I consider myself to be), but that‘s the one thing I have always wanted, no matter what, for as long as I can remember. I wanted baby dolls, never Barbies. I wanted to be a mother. It seems odd, but I don‘t know any other way to explain it... 6y
GingerAntics @readinginthedark even from a very young age (7ish) I really wanted to adopt, so maybe that‘s part of it. I was probably the only kid who thought there were so many kids needing homes, I should adopt at least one before I had kids of my own. I could adopt a child at any age and still be a mother. 🤷🏼♀️ Like I said, I was (and am) very odd. 6y
