I am thirty seven but last year I started having that terrible feeling, oh God I am no longer young, and going off on my own on many weekends to party, going to clubs, pretending I was twenty, taking drugs. It was quite good fun but at some point I realized my husband thought I'd gone mad and then my daughter said to me "We didn't like it when you went to the disco. You slept all day Sunday and didn't take us to church." At some point I snapped out of it. I mean I do go out sometimes but not full time hard core manic.

Still I think I had to give the mid life crisis a whirl and get it out of my system!

I wonder are mid-life crises getting earlier? Have you had one yet and what did it entail?

Is anyone else looking forward to their kids being teenagers

After reading about the woman who let her nine year old son take the subway home on his own, wrote about it in the paper and got a barrage of abuse, I started thinking about whether the fears of overprotective parents are justified. I actually don't believe that the world is more dangerous than it was when we were kids and that most of the dangers are media created. There is definately not a paedophile behind every tree. The only thing that is worse is that there is more traffic. Do you think there are really more threats to kids these days?
