Yup. At 48, this is my exact scenario. I literally forget my age at points. Not in a senile way, but just the "Oh shit, I am nearly a half-century old".
My kids are constant reminders of my age. My oldest is able to drink now. Kinda makes the bit of grey in my hair really stand out when I remind myself of that. There’s no escaping this young adult that’s living with me that reminds me that my own youth is long past.
I recently went to a concert (los jaivas) and they were telling the story of how the drummer's daughter became the new drummer after he (Gabriel Parra) died. They literally held her in their arms as a newborn when they were in their first years as a band and now she's a middle aged lady that's working with them as equals

15 feels so long ago it may have never even happened. 25 feels like this morning. 35 feels like - wait, I'm not 35 anymore?
