Not Looking Forward to Turning 40 by Angela

I am turning that awful number in just one week. I don’t know if I can take it. I blacked it out on the calendar – I just want to skip over that day-pretend that it doesnt exist. I dont want presents, party or anything to that matter reminding me of that dreadful day. Alot of bad things will happen in my 40′s and in the year that I supposedly will turn 40. First – that is when you get your boobs squished, my 16 year old son will probably get his license and I will have to hope for the best. My youngest will be starting high school this year also. All of that happens right after I turn 40. In my 40′s decade – my youngest will get her license, both children will graduate high school and college. They could also get married and have their own children while in my 40′s. So what is there to look forward to by turning 40? Nothing- I cant think of anything good.

    Angela,
    I am so sorry that you are feeling so beyond hope about turning forty. But think of the alternative….besides, those things that you mentioned that would happen after you turned forty, your children driving, graduating and perhaps marrying and having their own families, are wonderful milestones for them, they deserve them just as we did 20+ years ago. As for getting your boobs squished, its not as bad as all that. I had mine done at 35, to check a lump. If you have your health, and your family, you have much to be thankful for. For your own peace of mind- find those things, and for gosh sake–CELEBRATE!!! You only turn forty once. With kind regards, Yarrow

    I turned 40…..officially….yesterday……I tried like hell to make it as bearable an experience as possible but when the party was over and my 2 kids and my mom (visiting from Cincinnati) were all put to bed……I cried…..and cried…..and cried. Thank God 4 years ago I reunited with the love of my life (after 20 years) and he was there to comfort me. I keep telling myself I am only a day older than I was the day before……
