I'm the first to post. Woo hoo. Thanks for starting this. |
Yes, thank! Not quite there yet. But it's coming soon, and I'm actually ready to be there. Not even unhappy about it! |
Yes! Thank you! I'll be 52 this year with 2 young teens. Thanks Jeff! |
YES!! |
Another big thank-you here! My husband and I are both 50 somethings and we have two teen age children. |
I'm early 50's with a preschooler (adopted). Life doesn't always happen the way you want it to. But glad to get to be a parent late in life. |
I'm in my 50s with a child in 1st grade. Very late pregnancy. Plus I have teens, so I'm going through two phases of child rearing at once, plus perimenopause. I'm very happy to see this forum, and I hope it gets lots of activity.
I'm not thrilled with the Fifty and Over name, though. I am more interested in parenting past 50 -- that's mostly why I come to this site. I hope parents over 50 will post about parenting when you are older -- it's quite a different experience. Thanks again, Jeff! |
I hope this forum has something for everyone, parenting, dealing with older parents, retirement planning (mine's a disaster), work and career and all the rest of it. I like that folks "pushing: 50 feel free to post here, too! (OP here.)

Well, Howdy! This is a very cool surprise this morning! Thanks for the forum. |
Thanks! almost 50 with a toddler. |
I am not quite 50, but I think I will relate to the topics found here as I too an older mom with young kids (G1 and G2) with elderly parents who are in their 70s.
Thanks for this board! |
Thanks Indeed. Fifty this year with a preschooler. Had infertility issues for over 20 years, just when I thought it was all over and menopause was setting in, found I was pregnant at 45! Past five years have been the happiest of my entire life. My heart still swells with joy and enormous love everytime my DD calls me Mommy! |
Nothing like being 50 with a 13 and an 11 year old! |
