Quick Question: What's your scary age?

Each day on Mamamia we’ll be asking a Quick Question. Something you can answer fast and easily even before your caffeine has kicked in. Because sometimes it’s nice to participate in a conversation that doesn’t require too many brain cells. Like: are Salt and Vinegar chips superior to plain?

Today’s question is about Your Scary Age, a term made famous in an episode of Sex and the City where Miranda brings it up. Hers was 43. Carrie’s was 45.

It’s basically the age you worry that you will wake up with regrets. Or the age you’ll officially feel ‘old’.

Mine is 37. Tomorrow is my birthday. I am freaking out. I don't have any idea whether I want kids and it is so awful to get old.

I'm 31, unmarried and have no children. In my 20s I used to think I'd like to be marrried by the time I'm 30. But it didn't turn out that way and I'm getting married next year. Not because it fits in with some grand life plan but because I love my partner and want to commit to spending my life with my him. Who knows when we'll have kids ... there is already pressure on that front from others ... I say to those in their 20s who have this magical 30 deadline for themselves to be married and have kids, enjoy life and do things when you feel ready
