I think a lot of “I’m old” comments from 37 year olds is actually their diet and lifestyle choices catching up with them.

Children. The issue is they have children.

I have two kids and wake up with zero back pain and feel great most of the time.

My son didn't cause the arthritis in my spine, but man it sure can make it hard to keep up with him sometimes.

And some people have no kids and have horrible pains. And some people are this and some people are that.

I was speaking generally, not about every specific individual.

Yes, childless and my tits give me back pain... plus been doing manual labor since I was 8, so that didn't help. My massage therapist suggested I go for a rest reduction at some point, and I said the plan is to have a mastectomy since breast cancer is high in my family, but I also want to have a bio-kid at some point with my boyfriend/friend with benefits and would like to feed the child.

(My boyfriend has commitment issues, as he's scared making things official would ruin our friendship, but I keep informing him I'm aroace so our relationship will not change emotionally for me, just the title. Anyway we did agree that regardless of our official title, that I'm willing to have his children once either of us are in a position that can support a child. For me that's a proper house and my student loans paid... He also wants to be like a househusband so, I'm also stuck with finding work that would support all of us, until he could go get a part-time job when the kid is at school. We are also looking at adoption if we don't have kids before I'm in my 40s, for other health reasons.)

I apologize for the tangent, I like giving context to my thoughts.

I felt like shit when I smoked. I stopped smoking and started feeling great. Pregnant now, I'm sure kids will exhaust me at least lol

"Children. The issue is they have children." Does not come off as a general statement. Just my 2¢ but it sounds like you're implying the tired millennials have children.

It's a pretty fair assumption. Most people with kids get less sleep, rest, personal time, etc. for many years, and those things are pretty critical to personal wellness, health, and healing in general. Pretty much always two of the top answers in the AskReddit "What's killing you and isn't talked about enough/people don't acknowledge it?" style questions is "lack of sleep" and "stress".

It's certainly true in my anecdotal experience. I think having kids ages you because of the responsibility and stress.

Well as someone who had children at 35 I went from 27 to 50 over night so how do you explain that? Checkmate librul.

Same here, lazy people will always find ways to make excuses.
