My daughter is 29 and I remember very well when I was 29 (I'm 51 now). 29 is a wonderful age - you're just coming out of young adulthood and transitioning into being a real adult. From your posts, you sound fabulous to me - if you stop focusing on age so much. btw, plenty of people who don't have their own children work with children...not unusual at all. One of my nieces is 39, married, and cannot have children due to some severe health conditions she has. She's taught preschool for ages, absolutely loves her job, and the children and parents adore her.
