The best days of your life?

Spending my childhood on some of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall.

My best days were the ones when I was at home with my babies/children.

My student days, I met Mr. B. All my days are good though ?

I enjoyed my 40s. Interesting times and lots of fun.

I think the years when I was 17-19 were among my best.

I worked in a job I enjoyed, I was going out with my future DH, I lived at home with Mum and Dad quite happily, I had no worries about money, work, family, relationships. Life was carefree.

Future years have been good also, but Dad died suddenly when I was just 19, I grew up overnight, and once I married and had children, well, you’ve always got worries when you’re a mum.

I'm living my best days now.

40's and 50's.

17 to 19 for me too. Not that I am not enjoying life now, we have been able to travel widely (until last year) and love being with children and grandchildren, but there was just something magical about being madly in love, with your whole life in front of you!

All my days are good though ?
Same as Blossoming. Going to bed at night and wanting more days the same, hoping they will never stop.

Bringing up my children and stepsons
26-49.
Family life is the best.

I think being a young mum of small children is the best time.

Definitely my 40’s, children were growing up, we were financially comfortable and living the dream

Phases. Young single and carefree in my dream job. Newlywed and flying high. Family life all pretty calm and lovely. Mature with good health and comparative security. It has been/is being kind with only one major hiccup.

I’ve had great times with difficult times included. This phase of my life is no different, except I’m lucky to be more financially secure and to have learned from the difficult times.

Why is this thread in today's newsletter? It's 4 days old - hardly the latest addition! Anyway, I'm glad it's come up as it's a good topic and I missed it at the time.

My parents gave me a lovely childhood, but the days when my own boys were small were also wonderful. So I agree with most people so far.

Every day alive

When my two daughters were little, we had very little money and most of the furniture was second hand but they were the happiest days of my life even though I was still a teenager myself.

When my children were little and needed me.
And then, later, my motorhome years, travelling Europe
for 17 years.

College days. First truly happy times for me.

In my 30s

I loved it when we were a family of five all living together. But I love it now it's just the two of us, living happily together in our new house, with separate studies and meeting up for coffee breaks and meals, spending most evenings together but some pursuing our separate interests. Long may it last!

I agree with shysal and couple of others: being the young mum of 3 young children. In my mind's memory, the sun shone every day, although it couldn't have!
