15 years between my Sister and me, I suspect I was an ooops.

I turned fifty this year, I'm still depressed about it.

I'll be turning 30 in March. For the last couple of years I've not been looking forward to it, but the closer I get now the less I seem to care!

I fail to see anything depressing about birthdays. I haven't celebrated one since I was 21, 34yrs ago but I certainly don't mind having another and don't feel old as my sons get older neither.

Much the same for me.... 62 cam and went, I stayed sober

I enjoy the Grandchildren’s birthdays though!

Same here
(apart from my 60th )

I'll be turning 30 in March.

Looking back, I reckon I enjoyed my 40's the most. Settled, sensible (most of the time) still young enough to be adventurous, a bit of life experience to look back on, seeing the kids become more independent, still had my parents around.

Every birthday is a bonus tbh, because the alternative isn't great.
