Psychology of age
Most people at this age begin to experience a decline in vital activity. However, this is not an axiom for everyone. Many people at this age are just beginning to gain momentum in their professional activities. At this age, family relationships often change. Children create their own families, and the new parent must rebuild his self-concept again. Time is becoming increasingly valuable.
At the age of 42, many women fall into one of two extremes: either they lose interest in surrounding events, or they begin to dress inappropriately for their age and look younger. This happens due to the awareness of quickly passing time. Now no one calls her a girl, but I don’t want to let go of my youth. Therefore, the discrepancy between reality and desire leads either to a loss of strength and mood, or to rebellion, expressed through makeup and modern clothing.
Men spend most of their time working. They strive to realize themselves in the labor sphere, establish themselves in society, and secure a future for themselves and their family. It is difficult for him to quickly switch from one activity to another, so even at home he can work or discuss work.

Kimberly Fugate is a completely normal woman. Once upon a time, she was happily married, and soon the couple had a daughter. But at 42, Kimberly learns what many at her age find impossible: a woman 13 weeks pregnant. The news really came as a big surprise for the family, and especially her husband Craig, which, as it turned out, was far from the last. Kimberly was expecting triplets.
The couple did not even think about a second child, and the news about triplets deeply shocked them. Craig was especially worried about his wife's age.
Be that as it may, the couple began preparations for the arrival of new family members. The babies, apparently, were also eager to get into their new home - the babies decided to be born after six months of pregnancy.
The birth, fortunately, went well: the doctors delivered the triplets safe and sound, when suddenly they were stunned: “I can still see feet!” – one of the doctors shouted. “I screamed no!” says Kimberly. To say that what happened was a shock is to say nothing.
“If you think about it, all this seems incredible and changes our whole lives,” the mother says with a smile. “I tried to get used to it little by little, to digest this situation every day. I know that everything will be fine".
When all the incredible events seemed to come to an end, the Fugat family received another incredible news. The babies turned out to be monozygotic twins. The chance of such an event was reduced to 1 in 13 million - people are more often struck by lightning... Dr. James Bofil did not believe what happened: “I was just confused... A colleague told me about it. I thought she was making fun of me!”
Born prematurely, the girls had to remain in the hospital for some time. After several weeks, they were sent home, where they were finally greeted by their older sister. Kimberly, meanwhile, was once again fully enjoying her role as a mother: “I wake up every morning, see their smiles, hear their first gurgles - I’m just overwhelmed with joy! These babies became the biggest surprise in my life, and now I can’t imagine my existence without them!”
