Well I feel old

[bokelley]

So my neighbors teenagers where having a birthday party. And all the sudden I heard a huge bang on the back window, so I go out to look at it. There are about 20 girls and boys running in my yard with silly string. I yell at them to go get there parents, after no one listens to me. I go over and talk to the parents. She was mortified. I told her no big deal just have them come over and pick it all up.

When did I become old. Yelling at young kids to get off my grass...... I wouldn't even be able to clear the fence to go silly string someones house.

I started feeling old when 1) kids I babysat started driving and 2) kids I babysat started having their OWN kids!!!

I know the feeling. The little boy I used to nanny is going off to college.

My students tell me I'm old almost weekly Plus I got a "Can you even have kids?" the other day

My two little host sisters, who were 2 and 3 1/2 when I spent my year abroad have friended me on Facebook. And the younger of the two asked if we would consider having her as an au pair when she finishes high school in a year. Sigh.

Brandi,

If it makes you feel any better, in the last two apartments I lived in (pre-marriage), I had the local non-emergency police number programmed into my cell.
For noise violations. Of teenagers. And young coeds. *facepalm*
When did I become such a freaking grouch?

[scrub-jay]

I came very close to storming upstairs - 9.5+ months pregnant, in my PJs to yell at the neighbors. They are usually very quiet, but nailing things into the wall at 12:30AM? Not acceptable. I made it as far as the front door in my bathrobe before it stopped. DH was frantically getting dressed to stop me and run up there himself - I didn't even tell him what was bothering me, apparently I just flew out of bed grumbling big time, grabbed my robe and headed out of the bedroom.

We laughed about it later - DH was horrified, but not surprised (I am the *ahem* direct one in the relationship). Asshat upstair neighbors.

I do feel old. *sigh*

When I chaperone a dance at school all I can think is "how can they LISTEN to this music - they call this music!?!?" and "turn it down! it's so loud!" and "they shouldn't be dancing like that! it's not decent!"
(and then I have to check the toilet tanks for hidden alcohol).
Thats old.

Haha Fluff! I remember deciding back when I was in high school that I was going to keep listening to new music so I'd never think that... Well, that didn't happen - so much of it is just annoying! But then, my most-often played songs on my iPhone are from AM Gold CDs, so I guess I never stood a chance.

Funny, Fluff. My neighbor chaperoned the winter formal here and she was telling me how all the kids dance slow dances with the girl's back to the guys stomach....and grind. She was also thinking "That's indecent!". Me? I'm thinking that my oldest is going to high school next year. He'll be *gasp* one of them!

I feel old when I go to my annual gyn check up and they now ask "Date of your last menstrual period if you still menstruate..." Uh. Yeah. Even if it is a standard statement, that will make you feel old. Old. Old. Old.

I felt old at church on Sunday as I oohed and ahhed over a 4 week old baby. She's the daughter of a girl I babysat.
