Anyone else feel that their life has just become so DULL...?

[Legacy]

I shouldn't complain, because we are very lucky, and have lots of the things that people on here often would love e.g. relationships/ material possessions etc.

But DH & I had some friends over for supper last night and at one point in the evening I found myself just sitting back, watching and listening to people around the table thinking, "OMG, is this what life is now all about, and is this all we have to look forward to for the next 20 years". It was all talk about children, schools, jobs, a bit of politics. But it was all soooooooo DULL. This morning DH & I were chatting about it, and he agreed, and said did I notice that we didn't really laugh about anything as a group anymore, we all just seem to be ground down by parental responsibility.

Today I feel really rather depressed about it all. And old.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum - my life is just bonkers and I'd love a boring dinner party!! Can I come over to yours? It sounds all restful and calm, not boring. You can then wife swap with me and then you'll appreciate a grown-up life!! ta da!

Stick on the Beegees greatest hits and have a family disco
What do you think would make you laugh more? Can you see any way to fit it into your life?

well I agree on the conversations- all about babies. I do it too but I am bored by myself sometimes! Esp. with dp's brother & sister in law who also have babies, we never seem to talk about anything else. And house prices seem to creep in there a lot too.

Think we're all just too 'grown up' & boring now! Also knackered - swpend too much time putting kids well-beoing before our own. Thinking about it, the last time we had a really good laugh was an 80's fancy dress party....

So do some different stuff!

Go Ice Skating (loads of outdoor rinks these days at xmas)
Find a club that welcomes old gimmers
Go to the theatre
Go and see some stand up comedy
Dance a lot at home
