83 Things Middle-Aged Women Wish They’d Known When They Were 20

Great attitude to live by. I'm 61 and attacking my bucket list, and some things that are not even on the list!

Sure you do!

I've got no more f***s to give. 🤣🤣Love it.so perfect that i don't know if i want it in a t'shirt or a tattoo.😉🤩

I would probably just say "keep going, everything will work itself out and every mistake is a lesson that will guide you to happiness. Stop worrying and live peacefully!"

Whose? Yours or your partner's?... Both are equally brutal.

Depends on the lie and the reasons behind it - if it's a big lie (and not something like "I'll be there in fife." when you're more like ten minutes away) then definitely yes

Too many things to mention. One does stick out though, never leave my girls alone with anyone at all until they can talk and tell me what is going on.

When the guy is forty, he'll still only be after the 20 year olds....

YES! THIS!!

In the age of economical and unemployment crisis, this one is way too often forgotten. And yet, it's very important. For an infinity of reasons and chain reactions.

hell yeah

Very true. Bad boys make exciting boyfriends, but p**s poor husbands and fathers. Play with them, sure. But never, ever marry them or have kids with them. (And I do not apologize if my statements step on anyone's toes. Too effing bad.)

I've always been fond of the reformed bad boy. They went through a phase when they were young but when it came time to be an adult and take care of stuff, they do! My husband is a reformed bad boy. The best of both worlds.

This is absolutely, completely true

And yet some of my friends can't seem to live without the drama. Sad.

And won't give any f*cks.

I can't save AND travel at the same time!!

all of these are absolute GOLD

I do none of these! Ugh. I should start.

The middle part with NO is my favourite and believe me I still being almost 60 did not manage this particular skill. A demanding task must be ... LOL

"Say what you feel AT THE TIME YOU FEEL IT"--I'm still working on that

This needs a heck of a lot more upvotes, and applies to everyone, not just girls!

Yes, yes, and yes

In our lifetime we only have a set amount of f***s to give before we run out of them

It's coming, dears...

Totally disagree. I’m not 40 yet but I’m in my 30’s. I care less now because I’m more comfortable with who I am and I think I’m awesome. So if people don’t like it, it’s really not my problem. I’m not exhausted or tired.

Absolutely !!! The best way to advise without giving advice. Love it.

Omg truer words have never been spoken.. I tell my son this every day!

Family are often the ones who hurt and use you the most. Like they say, you can't pick your family.

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times!!!

This covers a little too much as for my taste. I would for the moment focus on the last piece of advice. And THANKS for it - it is great and so often unnoticed. Hugs!

Family has hurt me in ways my worst enemy never has.

I have a toxic sister so know that is very true.

be naked if you want to at any age. Don't be naked if you don't want it. Simple as that.

I like this one. But I also don’t believe it. I’ll still have my body after 40. Staying fit doesn’t have to end at 40

On it

LOL. Any age, any naked is good naked.

That is ill-advice. Empathy pays off in the long-run!

this is shite. Other people's feeling should matter.

Facts over feelings.
