Is time flying because its flying or because I'm getting older?

Question

It seems that at one moment, its Tuesday afternoon, then all of a sudden its Friday night, then its back to work again. It seems like just yesterday I gave birth to my son, I blinked and now he's 5.5 months old. Is time really flying these days, or is that just what it feels like to get older and have more responsibilities?

Answer 1

I suspect that we see time relative to our lifespans from birth to the present. Wait until you reach my age.

Answer 2

Time seems to pass more quickly as you age, probably because a day becomes a decreasingly small fraction of your life so far. Having an infant also has an effect, both in terms of there not being enough hours in a day to get it all done and still get some sleep, and in making you aware of how quickly he is growing.

In addition, I think time is passing more quickly for everone now, due to the ever-increasing amount of communication we're subjected to

Answer 3

yep.. thats the rub, more to do, more to fit in - less time  to do it in. Just enjoy every minute you can, especially with the little man.

Answer 4
