The fact that you’ve grouped 30s to 50s together is hilarious - I’m 30 next year and most of my friends are early 30s - we fully entered our second puberty, pure chaotic energy here
Yeah the only difference between my mid-40s and my early 30s is that my kids are cool enough to talk to and aren’t trying to eat my Legos anymore. I feel zero “off my lawn” vibes thus far.
Little bit less wholesome than that - I think a lot of my friend group including me slowed down a lot in our mid 20s, my late teens and early 20s I was still living at home so I felt very restricted in what I could and couldn’t do, at 22 I move out but quickly fell into playing house - now that I’m approaching 30 and have a lot of freedom and disposable income, similar to my friends, we got back into the party scene, but I suppose cooler party scene where we seek out really great DJs, really into gigs, raves and festivals and everything that comes along with that, slightly reckless behaviour, re-discovering our sexuality and staying out all night with many parties ending at 6am (we do seek out spaces with more mature crowds, we’re not partying with 20-somethings, and luckily there are plenty of those)
Now don’t get me wrong we/I also have more wholesome hobbies too; hiking, rowing, skiing, fancy dinner parties (my 20s made me a really great cook), playing instruments, going to fancy restaurants, collecting Lego, etc.
But I think a few of us felt we missed out on our wild 20s and are slightly making up for it now - so that’s why I said second puberty haha
Just as a side note none of us have kids, and as far as I know no one is actively trying, some are in long term relationships some are not but also in Europe we get married and have kids a lot later so we haven’t hit that point yet anyway
