For me it was last night as I was sat in my Pjs at 8pm, binge watching Lucifer, eating crumpets and drinking alcohol free prosecco (pregnant with DD3)

I'm 27 😂🤦‍♀️

When people younger than my kids are feeling 'middle aged'

That'll probably be me 😅 after nearly 3 kids and working in the food industry for over 10 years I do not have the back, knees or feet of a 27 year old haha

@Solosunrise - I’ve become very hot! 😂

When I took absolute joy in completely defrosting my freezer. My husband has never satisfied me the way that did.

When my friend and I were sitting on the balcony of our hotel in Spain drinking tea and eating biscuits rather than go to a club because it was 'a bit crowded and noisy'. We were 25.

When I invited my housemate to look at how clean the oven was since I cleaned it with the oven spray stuff (for the first time since we moved in two years ago)
I was so excited that parts were silver not actually black and that apparently there was a window in the door to see your food.
She was not as excited

Yep that was me in Tenerife in May, sat on my balcony watching the ABBA tribute act with my massive pizza, because people were annoying me in the actual bar area 😅

My 11yo told me in the car he likes phonk music. I though he said funk music and I thought it was a bit of a unique genre for an 11 year old, but whatever. Then he played me some and it was not funk. He had to spell it for me. There's whole new genres of music I don't know the existence of and I'm still listening to the killers.

When I started packing my preferred brand of teabags to take abroad with me (in a little Tupperware tub to add to my coolness).

When I advised the young engineer visiting my office that he 'better use the toilet before he left' as it was a long way home 5 miles

Gatekeeper · 31/08/2022 19:57

I also told him in my mother's voice that he would 'get cold in his kidneys' due to his low slung troosers

I just had to YouTube that to see what it was. It's not bad tbh! Not my usual genre of music but I can see the appeal

🤣🤣🤣This is the kind of shit I do. Two new members of staff- 22 and 25- and I just want to pat them like I do my children 🙈.

I realised I was cool when I called my 14 year old student today 'G' and asked if he was a roadman. The rest of the class were like ❓️🤔🤣

Actually it was when my Mum died two months ago. I'm grieving but I've literally stopped sweating the small stuff and have never felt more confident.

@MrsGamgee

This made me snort laugh

When I bumped into adult DS's best pal the other day and she said she wants to arrange to get together with her lovely partner, my DS, my DH and me for dinner. I reckon I must be seriously cool if a bunch of 20-somethings want to socialise with me 😂

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/09/2022 01:20

When my niece told me ‘you’re way cooler than my mum’ (my younger sister), lol

Isn’t that just a standard item on any packing list? I’ve been doing that since I was a tween!

UpToMyElbowsInDiapers · 01/09/2022 01:29

A friend bought 3 dresses that looked like they were from Little House on the Prairie, and I was the first person she rushed to tell.

At our age we are cool and hot 🔥

When my DM visited on my birthday this year and said I could choose what we did and we could do anything.

I chose to go to the massive M&S and then a garden centre.

You were too cool for school long before me then!
