Midlife!
Our class discussion made me wonder about where I will be in my midlife. I could see how people get into routines in their midlife. Sometimes I feel like I have a routine and I'm only 20! My parents are in their midlife and I can tell when they are trying to break their routines. They take a trip to Mexico at least, every other year and my dad enjoys to hunt and fish as much as possible. However, a majority of their nights are filled with eating supper, watching t.v. or a movie and heading to bed around 10. My mother has told me how her and my father are getting along better now, than they have in years. So that shows communication does get better with time. I think midlife will be filled with its fair share of problems, but can prove to be one of the fulfilling stages of life.

Ya I can see that too with my parents...only they're not trying to break their routines. Most days of the week my parents have supper do their paper/computer work, maybe watch some tv and then go to bed by nine. (My dad's a truck driver so they wake up around 5)
They're routine was shaken up a bit when my brother moved back home...he moved out 10 years ago and we were in a different house at the time. The bills have gone up and the communication has had more problems since he arrived, but I think that in some ways it was nice for them to have a change in the everyday.
