Justin Bieber ruined my day.

It's not the gray hairs that suddenly appeared and started mulitiplying last year, because let's be honest, who didn't get grays from the craptacular that was 2010.

It's not the lovely new denotation of advanced maternal age, that was added to my other million and one pregnancy risk factors.

It's this picture of Justin Bieber and his parents at the Grammy's.

Both of which, come to find out, are YOUNGER than me.
Which made me realize I'm old.

Cry cry cry.
Baby baby baby.

*I also realized that my kids are slackers.

    Oh dear. I'm not going to ask how old you are, because that wouldn't be nice, but I want to ask how old Bieb's parents are, so I know if I'm older, and I'm pretty sure I am....

    That's so funny that you posted this because I have had the same problem. I'm so sad that I think I've raised a bunch of useless humans. I don't mean that I don't love them, but I really feel like I've failed them in teaching them to work and to participate as a family. And that picture, which I saw earlier in the week, didn't help. Those parents are so young.

    A. You are right that 2010 was craptacular.
    B. If I had kids when I was 17, I could easily already have grandkids. Instead I have a 5 and 7 year-old.
    C. You have a home filled with 2 parents, lots of love and the Lord and that is worth more than a teen pop star any day.

    Hahahaha...my friend and I JUST talked about this today too!
    My bff said.."she's the SAME AGE AS ME".
    Then we tried to figure out how our kids are toddlers and her son is 'the Biebs'.
    Don't think about it too much ~ it's not healthy.

    i just want to say...
    phew, mrs.bieber is older than i. but, not by much.
    secondly, every day i wake up i feel like i'm 20, so it doesn't really matter.
    thirdly, her boobs are about to pop out of her junior's prom dept. dress, so don't worry 'bout it.
    you would never let that happen.

  31. CherylFebruary 22, 2011 at 8:34 PM

    OK . . . the funny thing is that when I looked up their ages, I felt relieved and said, "whew! I'm younger than them" . . . but then I remembered that I just turned FORTY, not THIRTY!! Seriously . . . I keep thinking I'm thirty! I guess that is a good thing.

    not sure if it is the "I wish I had done that at her age" thing, or the "holy crap I am old and have nothing to show for it" thing, or the "my kids are so unmotivated" thing"

    or perhaps it is ALL OF IT
