I wouldn't mind the vitality I had at 21 but I do not want to be 21 again. I worked hard my entire life to get people to treat me as an adult. Now I get to say I'm 41 years old stop treating me like a child.
I've suffered from "baby in the family" syndrome with three much older siblings, which sadly came with me in my marriage. Just the other week my husband told me to stop acting like an adult.
He took on a parent role when we married thanks to my mom, and me not knowing any better or being any wiser at 21I let him till about five years ago when coming back home made me realize I would never be taken serious from my family or husband. Now I tell them I'm 40/41 years old, an adult do not try to patronize me or treat me like a child. After the year I've gone through I had to handle many serious issues when no one else in the family would after sis decided to leave us. Do I get credit from my family of husband from that? No. I've earned these gray hairs with honor. Now I need hair dye. lol
I had a good birthday. Hubby was at work but my brother surprised me with having pizza and dessert delivered. I may have been alone at home but the phone and Facebook kept pinging. It seemed everyone wanted to wish me a happy birthday or to talk. It was a very busy and exhausting day. I'm giving myself a gift today of just chilling, eating leftover pizza and reading my book.
