A bit, many of my friends are no-where near settling down. But I remember when I was at uni (so I reproduced slightly later than you), my friend's mum was going to uni. Your kids will all be in school one day, and there will be time for you to start to figure out something for yourself. Hobbies, education, work...and then, once the kids are more independent, maybe in mid-late high school and Auntie whatsit can come and housesit and make sure your teenagers shower and don't starve for 2 weeks, you can be swanning around the country (or world) on a holiday here and there. Or camping.

It's just differences in timing. Some of our friends have a lot of independence right now, and we will have a lot of independence later - when my eldest is 18 I will only be 40, and some of my BB friends tell me that's not so old at all.
