Mom Years
Mom Years are different from standard human years. I have a formula:
chronological age, +6 months per year of life of each of your children (round down)
Being 26 myself, and having three kids, ages 8, 6, and 4, my Mom Age is 35. Sounds about right.
When i'm 40, i'll really be 70. The teen years are harrowing. But fortunately, after they've left home, things slowly turn backwards, until you hit your chronological age again. Then you can age as normal.
i'm an only child and got married when i was 18, and my parents were both chronologically 38, but in parent-years, they were 47. Now they're 46 according to a standard calendar, but haven't seemed to age a day since i left home. Coincidence? I think not.
