Not knowing the songs in the charts. Something about Jackie Chan! Last song played at my brothers wedding - no clue

Chasing after an 18 month old daughter at 42.
For the love of Jesus young people, heed my advice. Have your kids when you are in your 20s. That way you will have more energy for them and at least by the time they are reared you won't be the wrong side of 55 hoping you make it to retirement!!

I'm 45 chasing a 2 year old wannabe fireman who's getting his climbing experience in early. He'll be sitting on my chest at 7.00 in the morning holding my ears riding his motorbike.
Might be basketball after breakfast I'll be the one lifting him for the dunk.

You're only 42 jaysus, in your 20s there's too much selfish shìt to do.

A cousin's 21st birthday party a couple of weeks back.

I'm only in my 30s but I felt about 70, thinking young ones need to wear more clothes and watch their drink when 10 years ago I was the exact same.

I'm now a hypocritical ould wan!

Had a work night out at the dogs tonight. One of the lads got locked and ran around the track....

RicketyCricket · 22-07-2018 12:26AM

Been working with a couple of 25 year olds for the last 5 weeks on a factory line. The amount they cram into their weekends while I waste away on the couch from exhaustion makes me realise I am too old for this ****. I'm 36. I like sleep and no young 'un is gonna tell me thats a waste of time!!

Now I'm the taxi service.

And I'm done. Sitting down to my first and last beer of the evening.

I'm getting way too old for this ****. G'night kids

Running up the stairs.

I mean having a real go at it.

In my 20s/30s & most of my 40s I'd no problem about running up stairs 2 at a time.

Now I walk up the stairs 2 at a time.

I know more theme tunes to kids TV shows than I do about the charts. Bring back Top 30 hits.

Last year I had the ultimate displeasure of seeing my first grey hairs. I'm female so feck that. Now I'm seeing grey hairs on my arms and eyebrows. I'm either colouring them or waxing them now.

22-07-2018 05:58AM

I was going to reply to this till I saw that I posted it..... Apparently I'm not too old to start threads drunk.

Stairs? I insisted on NO STAIRS after the last three rentals.
A and E once; lost a big toe nail and a strained back on the last one..

Arrived at a charity shop new to me last week to find steep stairs. A lady was helping an older one who had a stick down, then she helped me, with a stick, up.

Disgree is it s etc; just a part of the pattern of life..

Got roped into playing a junior b hurling match at home recently. The guy I had to mark was doing his leaving cert. I'd mine done before he was born.

Its hard to run when you're limping

Yes, yes he did....

Dealing with not yet mature adults is something I can't be doing anymore.
It's hard enough to deal with my own kids without having to deal with adults who act like kids.

_Kaiser_ · 22-07-2018 09:31AM

I'm early 40s now but the first time was probably on a night out with the lads a few years back. One of them had brought his early 20s brother along. There we are talking about work and houses and kids while yer man is chatting up 3 girls.. All I could think of "that used to be me"

Another night was the work night out about a week after I started. I wasn't in the mood for a late night but knew I "had" to go anyway. All was grand but about 11pm the pub opened up our reserved section to the rest of the customers and 2 19/20 year old girls sat down beside where we were standing. I remember thinking "they really should be wearing more than that"

jester77 · 22-07-2018 09:43AM

Haven't had that feeling yet, but had my first I'm getting old feeling when the world cup final was on. Mbappe was going up to get his young player of the tournament award and the commentator mentioned that he wasn't born when France previously won the world cup in 1998.

Spent 45 min on a trampoline 2 days ago, I'm still ****ed

Theres a house near me and it's not like any of the other houses. At first I thought it was apartments but a big family live there and there's no fence around it so you pass by the back garden.

Anyway I was passing by it there on one of the sunny days and loads of them were out in the garden sunbathing and stuff, teenagers, a few adults and kids. The (what I think is the) mam was hanging clothes out on the line and two teenagers were rolling around on the trampoline kissing in front of everyone like sloppy kissing. I don't mind pda's but I did think to myself that it looked so awkward and a bit weird or I don't know maybe I'm getting too old
