Well, my last milestone birthday was 25 and that didn't bother me at all. In fact I took it as an opportunity to ask for a large gift from my DH (normally I say don't spend more tan $50).
I don't think 30 will bother me, when I hit it in 2 years.
My hardest birthday was actually 27. Lots of shit went down between 26 and 27 and I was kind of going through an identity crisis, I guess.
When I turned 30, I had just had my son 10 days earlier so I didn't have a lot of time to think about turning 30. I think 35 (in January) will be fun. I'm happy where things are in my life and I feel like I've accomplished all the things I set out to at this point.

nope. I have never really cared about my age.
I LOVED turning 30 actually - i felt like a real adult- that people took me more seriously... 20-something is like teenagers these days in the adult world.
i'm 39 now... and not upset about turning 40. I think i look pretty good for 40... think i have done a lot, am happy with where i am in life, etc. If i was unmarried and no kids at 40 i would have a harder time with it for sure (b/c it's what i want in life, not b/c i think everyone should be).
I do often think of our ages and if DH were to die the same age as his own dad did (parkinsons) then he might not be alive long enough to see our kids have kids of their own.... and that makes me sad- but i realize it's silly to think that way. Any of us can die at any time- we just need to enjoy life while we have it.
