Sorry, but...warnings to the youngsters among us

[MumBod]

Sorry, but...white wiry eyebrows do happen to women.

...you may need to trim your nasal hair too.

...and there will come a time when you'd rather grate your nipples than enter a nightclub, hard as that may be to believe right now.

Any others?

[MumBod]

Sorry, but...

...if you suspect he's/she's up to something, they probably are.

...your child will eat sugar and watch telly at some point.

[GoodyGoodyGumdrops]

If you time having children right, you will be sprouting chin bristles at the same time and rate as your ds, only your attitudes and responses will be diametrically opposite.

[AddToBasket]

Don't be rude about people having ugly feet. You will get them.

[MumBod]

Good one.

Sorry, but...

...there will come a time when you have spots and wrinkles at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive.

[MumBod]

Sorry, but...

...you know that current state of affairs, where you can drink four pints of stout a night, live on carbs, do no exercise and remain a fresh-faced size 8?

Not gonna last.

[CaoNiMartacus]

... one day, the clothing of your childhood will be considered "retro".

[228agreenend]

Sorry, but...

You will find yourself looking outside and seeing the sunny weather, and thinking 'Good, it's a good drying day'

[beepbeepimasheep]

You will be hoping that your period doesn't turn up at the same time as your adult daughter is hoping that hers does.

[maddiemookins16mum]

Your toes will get hairy.
You'll get night sweats
You'll become obsessed with getting the washing out (just pegged mine)
The eye shadow worn at 25 looks wrong at 52 as your eyelids are crinkly.
You might need varifocals
People will offer you a seat on a bus if you're lucky.

[user1491572121]

You WILL reach a point where you're happy not to give a shit what anyone else thinks.

I love that. I'm 44 and I don't care if anyone else likes my coat..or my hair or whatever.

[AtticusCactus]

If you do venture out once in a blue moon, you will appreciate pubs where you can have "a nice sit down".
None of that standing around, looking cool nonsense for you.

[IndianaMoleWoman]

You'll look back on pictures of yourself from 20 years ago, when you considered yourself "fat", and wish you were that "fat" now.

[angryladyboobs]

Oh shit.

I'm 26 and most of this applies to me already.

#oldbeforemytime

[ChardonnaysPrettySister]

You will think 'actually, Mother was right.'

[Glowerglass]

Grey hair has a different texture. Even when it is dyed, it looks like grey hair.

[AnotheBloodyChinHair]

You will see an old haggard lady walking towards you only to realise it's your own reflection...

[BitchyInnerMonologue]

You will actively avoid mirrors so you can retain the image of you that you have in your head; the one where you were skinny, not as ugly as now, had thick hair on your head and not on your chin, and hormonal spots were yet to begin... I'm not having a good morning

[IHeartDodo]

angryladyboobs also 26 and I was thinking the same thing!

[Ceto]

You can swear as many almighty oaths as you like that toy weapons will never enter your house, your children will still make them out of knitting needs, coat hangers and whatever comes to hand.

[KERALA1]

Sorry but ...you may well just "thicken" round the middle even if it's not fat. Found a photo of me aged 23 in a crop top recently ...those days are gone. It's not even having kids as happening to childfree friends too.

And if by some miracle you do retain your girlish slimness it tips into scrawny

[Newtssuitcase]

On a girls night out you will avoid loud places so that you can have a good chat.

[BeyondThePage]

just as you approach "old enough" for something or other the goalposts will be moved... pension etc.

just as you approach menopause your teenage daughters will approach that lustrous full flush of fertility

your feet will hurt, not for any reason, they will just hurt.

you know that "oomffffff" sound "old" people make when they sit down or get up, you don't actually know you are doing it til you hear yourself.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

And when you do go on this mythical night out, by 10.30 you are ready for your bed.
When you look at the clothes in top shop and think. "I had that 30 years ago."

[user1483972886]

I'm 43 and already avoiding mirrors is this normal?

[Wincarnis]

Your hangovers will be so bad that you really WILL stop having a few drinks
