Hits right about the time your kids are all teenagers. Coincidence? I think not

I guess I should be happy but find it depressing I've made it over the hump. I don't find 48 that much better.

Makes sense US women hit it in late 30's. If you have kids the most exhausting

If early 50s truly are the worst, I should brace myself. I'll be 50 in 2 months.
