I am too young for that!!!!

[Deathraystare]

I am sure this has probably be done before but I was listening to Caroline Hirons saying she did not wear cardigans as she felt it was something her Grandma wore. Though I do not agree I was just looking up future cruises and decided Saga not for me . It would be for older people (I am 63!!). I just imagine loads of white cauliflower hairstyles. I know it is ageist and unreasonable (I know they have jeople going from 55 years).what are you too young for????

Old People Music.

I love a lot of music from the 20s - and then it hits me that we've now reached the new 20s, most of the music of which I barely even know, let alone like!

It's my Eldest Son's Birthday today. He has turned 20. I can't believe I have a 20 Year Old. I am 42 years old and know ofcourse there are Mums younger than me to 20+ year olds but it feels strange like I am too young ( except when I have knee pain)

I still can't believe that there are people with a birth year that begins with a 2 who are now adults and sometimes even parents! It took me ages to reconcile the fact that somebody born in the 90s and giving birth is often not even a 'young mum' anymore, but pretty much standard 'having a baby' age!

I let a friend talk me into a Saga cruise and we were the youngest people on it ...at 60!

I received a letter from Saga, inviting me to join them, when I was 18 - second year at uni - I remember it actually said something along the lines of "Now you've reached that age where you want to start settling down and taking things more easy"!! No idea what mailing list they harvested my details from?!

My dad (in his 80s) told me that SAGA stood for Sex and Games for the Aged 😂

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll Someone might have signed you up for it! I have to admit I once signed up a male friend for a Saga brochure to arrive in time for his 50th birthday as he kept banging on about how he was going to be 'really old'. He took it as evidence that he really was old now that Saga were age profiling him ! I feigned innocence of course 😂

"Nifty Fifties"???! Are they serious? The people I know in their 50s are all at the top of their careers, energetic, switched on, fab social lives etc.
I'm genuinely amazed at that

I guess it's one of those things where they come up with a catchy name and then build an excuse to use it around that.

Nothing much positive rhymes with thirties (except maybe 'flirty'), but 'dirty' is the obvious one and not particularly enticing!

For forties? 'Naughty' could attract entirely the wrong audience, who don't realise it's an innocent club and might assume it's for sex people (Lynn).

For sixties? Nothing, really, other than sort of 'pixies', which isn't an adjective anyway.

Seventies? The closest is 'heavenly', which (as well as sounding rubbish) does sort of suggest that you might be already dead or not far off!

Let them have 'nifty fifties' without too much grumbling - it's pretty much all they've got

@RustySprings

That's certainly a possibility! Although I rather fear that I may have ordered some tat from an advert in the Sunday Express and thereby marked my cards forever

I'm too young to have any recognition of some of the Children's TV shows my older brother, SIL and older friends reference- e.g Tiswas, Magic Roundabout, Mr Benn, some Grange Hill series, I was watching it in the 90s.

Recollection that should be not 'recognition'.

Another one, I'm too young to have been allowed to hand write uni essays and not reference online sources in my dissertation again even though 4 years between us my brother and his peers didn't have to.

As 'old' goes, I'm not really approaching any kind of extreme yet; but when I stop and realise that there was considerably less time between the outbreak of WW2 and my birthday than there was between my birthday and today.... always a comforting thought!!

My dad has been a member of the Vincent Owners Club for over 25 years and he's still far too young 😁 I was dragged to many a weekend meeting and was definitely too young.

I had to google Caroline Hirons - what age does that make me??🤔

I am 60 and accidentally walked into a Bon Marchè the other day.
Would feel the same horror about Edinburgh Woolen Mill.

@Bigoldmachine I LOVE this!

Also DC we’re playing mummies and emulated me by going “ooooooooh” with relief every time they stood up. I’m 43!

I am 50 soon and my mother is refusing to accept it as she is too young to have a 50 year old DD. Also she is very happy that both my eldest children have decided against having kids as a being a Great Grandmother, in her words, would have her "with one foot in the grave". I have to admit I agree with her on that one, I am far too young to be a grandmother! Thankfully the next two DC are all wrapped up in studies and whilst technically old enough to have kids, I would be very very surprised if they did and the youngest two are too young!

I'm way to young to be 50 as I've only just got my head having my 40th birthday ten years ago.
I'm really still 32 in my head but some days I feel 18 or even 6!
I think I want to go back to infant school as it was fab!

He sounds wonderful, I'm so sorry for your loss x

I wouldn't pooh-pooh Saga, a relative of mine goes and apparently it's a riot. They get pissed and call themselves Saga louts

I was munching food yesterday & noticed it had formed a particular shape.. 'ooh look', I said, 'an elephant!'
The kids think I have a mental age of about five..

I am teetering on the edge of buying hotter shoes as comfort is so important to me! Didn't realise I was too young for them until this thread! I'm 40. I'm always going to be too young for coffee mornings and 'soup and social' type affairs.
I'm a cardigan and slipper wearer and own some fleece- lined products. Comfort wins for me usually.

It makes me laugh when people refer to cauliflower perms as being a marker of old people. You have to be properly old to remember them!
For young people nowadays a highlighted bob is the hairdo of their grannies and other old people.

I’m far too young for a sensible family car.

My mum is 82 and still refers to other people as old ladies, even though she is one 😂

My mum at 96, is apparently too young to die.
On the other hand, me at turned 60 refuses to have my hair cut short, in a Bob or any other style.
My long locks are staying firmly attached to my young head thanks.
Then again, my DH who was a keen footballer back in the day, but obviously hasn't played in a fair few years, looked at me like I'd grown two heads when I mentioned perhaps he could take up walking football.
Old folk hey 😂

All the things I was too young for I'm now too old for 😭

Oh, apart from kids. I will go to my grave too young to have kids!
