Would you stay the age you are now, if you could...

I've got some magic pills. They make you stay the age you are now, for as long as you've got left until you are 100. So say you are 35, you will stay 35 for the next 65 years. Your health etc will remain as it is now. Your children will remain the age they are now. If you are pregnant, your baby will be born but remain a newborn. You won't have any more children. You're job remains the same, married to he same man etc. Basically your life will freeze as it is now.

Would you like one of my magic pills?

No. I'm 45 and can definitely tell that I'm not in my 30s anymore. However, I want my children to fulfil their dreams- I wouldn't want to hold them back from that. It's the circle of life isn't it. Time moves on.

For just me yes I would

For my children no I wouldnt - I would love for them to always be 12 and 8 and is it lovely taking them places and they still want to spend time with me. But they need to grow up - I remember reading a Lois Duncan book Locked in Time when I was younger that made me realise you cant stop time

Stuck with a 2 year old and a 3 month old for the next 70 years 😱 at least I'd be on maternity leave forever i guess

No - age 42 for me would be right.

DS would be 5, DD would be 2 (and wouldn't have the lifelong condition that she was diagnosed with at 4) and my parents would still be alive. We'd struggle a bit more financially but I'd go back to that time in a heartbeat.

No - I like this age (46) and stage (kids age 11 to 15, enjoy my job, lovely DH), but it would be boring to be stuck here forever. Ageing holds no fears for me.

Yes. I have a severely disabled child and would like him to stay little for ever as he is much easier to take care of than a severely disabled adult.

No way. I've never felt so low or been so fat. I'm 47 and think I'm losing my mind.

Yes!! I would love to freeze my life right now!
I'm 33 with a 2yr old and an 8m old and I would love to keep them just the way they are right now! It breaks my heart that baby cuddles will soon be a thing of the past and although we have moments we aren't quite in full toddler meltdown territory yet!
I've just returned to work part time but my role isn't compatible with part time so in a few months it will have to increase.. I love my job but id love those extra few days at home longer term!

If I could return to being about 54 I would. This was before DH became terminally ill and life was great. If I could flick a switch so that it didn't happen - that's always been a fantasy of mine. But it can't happen so I make the best of things.

absolutely. am 40 with a 3 year old. Life is great
