I was fine with turning 35 as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you/page/2#post-1507654 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:03:44 +0000 lovehoneybee 1507654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 29 in a month, so I still have a year to think about it, but a lot of really good pieces are being moved into place, so I think 30 will come at the end of a great year for us, and I hope that will help. </p> <p>And if not, me and my SsIL are planning a Vegas trip for my 30th (with our husbands, I guess :) ) so that will be super awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you/page/2#post-1507509 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:45:49 +0000 gingerblonde 1507509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know... thirty just *sounds* so different than twenty-whatever. I will be 30 in a couple weeks also, and then will be having my first child a couple weeks after that. Hopefully that will mitigate some of the more unsavory feelings I have about hitting 3-0! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1507139 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:50:11 +0000 SweetMamaM 1507139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 30 next year! The only thing that bothers me is that we had originally planned to be "two and through" by 30, and now thanks to our initial delays in getting pregnant and our midwife's advice to wait a year before attempting another pregnancy, that won't happen.<br /> Not that there's anything wrong with having another kid at 31, 32 - it's just a struggle to get my head around plans changing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1507056 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:38:34 +0000 IRunForFun 1507056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 30 in 6 months and I honestly kind of forget my age all the time. My subconscious apparently thinks I'm still in my early 20s. </p> <p>When I think about I do get a littttle bit of that "I'm not where I thought I'd be" feeling (don't own a house, no babies), but then I remember I'm where I'm supposed to be.</p> <p>I'm more freaked by the gray hairs popping up than the #30... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1507026 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:34:55 +0000 Ash 1507026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: happy birthday mama!</p> <p>I think 25 was hard for me. I'm dreading 30!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1507010 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:32:41 +0000 Meridian 1507010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that I recall! I had a fun joint 30th birthday party with some friends :) I don't think I've been traumatized by any birthday milestones yet... maybe 40? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506880 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:17:14 +0000 PinkElephant 1506880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not as much as I expected it to. My daughter turned 1 the same day I turned 30 though, so I think that helped shift the focus. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506848 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:12:57 +0000 MrsH 1506848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, 30 was just another number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506788 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:05:41 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1506788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: happy birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506786 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:05:27 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1506786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: that's how I feel. I don't feel old (and someone asked me the other day if I was 24!! Hahaha) but I DO feel like time is flying. If I look at the future, I do kind of feel old?? Like, I'll be 35 with a 7 and 4 year old. :shocked: and I'll be 47 with a 20 year old! THAT makes me feel old-- not my age, but my kids' ages!</p> <p>I don't think I'm going to wake up on my birthday and be like, "DAMN, I feel completely different than I did the last 364 days!" </p> <p>A teeeeny part of me wishes I could have a big party &amp; drink but my friends promised me a do-over for 31 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506772 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:04:01 +0000 ShootingStar 1506772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 was a great birthday, but also sucked a little because most of my friends were still in their 20s (3-5 years younger than me). Today I turned 36 and I feel really weird about it. I can't believe my next milestone is 40 :-S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506734 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:00:10 +0000 teamjse 1506734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506726 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:58:30 +0000 doodlepoodle 1506726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will turn 30 this summer and I'm not dreading it at all, i figure the more birthdays I have, the better. I'd rather have them than 'expire' ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506718 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:56:20 +0000 LindsayInNY 1506718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Basically what @babycanuck: said...</p> <p>I was okay with turning 30 until it actually happened. I cried at work. I "planned" on having a LO or at least being pregnant and I wasn't. That was a big part of the upset-ness for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506641 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:36:44 +0000 littlebug 1506641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was super excited to turn 30. I knew that the next year/few years were going to be really exciting. I had a lot to look forward to. </p> <p>26, on the other hand, nearly killed me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506616 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:30:52 +0000 Mae 1506616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>25 was really hard for me. It felt like I was no longer a "young adult" and was becoming just an adult. I'll be 30 this year and I feel just fine about it. I have an awesome husband, a house I love, and a baby on the way. What more could I want? I think I'm really lucky to be so happy where I am right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506614 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:29:11 +0000 MrsKoala 1506614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it would but it didn't bother me at all. I think it was easier for me because I was happy with my life and had already reached a lot of the goals that I wanted to achieve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506610 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:28:10 +0000 Greentea 1506610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I actually feel proud and better about myself and I have given myself an excuse to get nicer furniture :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506600 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:25:39 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1506600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 was great, but 29 . . . oy, that was a rough year! I just spent the entire year dreading 30, but on my actual birthday and thereafter I've been a-okay with my 30s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506555 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:17:16 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1506555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Not at all. I was in a great space in life. That said, I am now closer to 40 than 30. I have to say that turning 40 might bum me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506549 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:16:36 +0000 mediagirl 1506549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @looch: I think 40 is going to be hard, too. I never thought it until now when I'm creeping up on it and I'm "feeling" a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506540 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:15:06 +0000 autumnlove 1506540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, best time of my life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506535 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 08:14:02 +0000 snowjewelz 1506535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 30 this year too and I'm excited! I didn't care for my birthdays after 25 haha, so I'm glad I'm turning a "significant" age! And I feel great about where I'm so I can't complain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506482 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:55:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 1506482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 was a little sad... I kind of jokingly was sad about it. But instead of getting each other gifts or having parties, we pooled the money we would have spent on each other and took our 4 closest friends out to dinner at our favorite pricey restaurant. That was AWESOME and really fun. </p> <p>Ever since I turned 30 though, I've been really in denial about my age. Not because I'm not happy with where I am in life (I'm very satisfied with that!), but just because I don't like how old I'm getting and how quickly it seems to be catapulting forward! I feel like before I know it, I will be 40 and my kids will be entering high school. That is terrifying. So I'm sticking at 29 until I turn 40. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506472 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:50:56 +0000 Synchronicity 1506472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm turning 26 this year, and I can't wait to be 30. It seems like such a milestone, in a good way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506469 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:49:34 +0000 MamaMoose 1506469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still a few months away but I'm looking forward to it. I'm happily married, I have a beautiful baby (and could possibly have #2 on the way by the time my bday rolls around), and I have a successful career. I'm pretty pleased with 30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506460 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:46:21 +0000 lavender 1506460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 was fine, not looking forward to 35 for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506455 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:42:35 +0000 Anagram 1506455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30 was really good for me. I think 40 might be hard because I'll definitely start feeling a bit 'old'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-turning-30-bother-you#post-1506454 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 07:42:09 +0000 chopsuey 1506454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I loved it! </p>
