As for the argument of being old parents, I think that the kids age you. How many single 30+ year olds do you know that still act like kids ;-)<br /><br />Marriage also does not really have to last for ever. Nothing ever does, so why put all the pressure on?

Sorry for you! Being the 1st girl, you have to be wed off before the youngers ones. According to Bible and Victorian lore! But yes, cheers to good company on The Shelf!<br /><br />Guinnie - Aaaah, thanks! I'm taking that as 1 in a million in a good way! <br /><br />Brilliant link that. Fascinating topic. Might have to do a SA version soon. <br /><br />As for the rush; I think what my 1 bro was realising was women might have a tick in their wombs. He started talking about me being able to be a mom & all one day. He had the right intentions, in a weird twisted way. <br /><br />You have to meet someone where you want to spend your lives together, till a bluddy long time.
