I had my youngest child three weeks before my 46th birthday. I wish I could have more kids, but I'm 50-plus now, and no way will it happen. No money for IVF, etc., so we're happy we're blessed with the children we have.
Congratulations on the birth of your twins! 22:37!! I'm sure it's a handful, but you will manage. It's great to be an older mom -- no wishing and wanting stuff that's long past in my youth. I have a lot of fun with my children because I'm not self-conscious as I was when I was younger. I don't know how well I could have balanced raising children when I was still striving to achieve something. Now I'm pretty relaxed and comfortable with the success I've had and not regretting or wishing for more. I'm grateful for what I have. |

Oh, you are so young. I am 48 years older than my youngest and I'm the mom. I'm never retiring ... |

56 with a 13 year old and I can EASILY pass for a 45-year old. Not in the water but in the genes!

51 with a seven year old daughter. I wish there was some sort of club or meetup group so that could interact with mothers of young children, who are my age.
I don't relate lots of times to the 30s and 40s crowd I meet at my daughter's school. Different attitudes! Love my 70s high school music!

Congratulations on your family. But what are you doing posting in the "Fifty and Over" forum if you're both in your low to mid 30's? The thread was about us older generation folks and wondering how many of us have young children. |

| 48 with a 4 1/2 yo boy. He is pretty wild although not hyper. He is challenging to say the least. But, that said I think I have a better handle on him that his teachers do. And I am physically in very good shape. He jumps on me, tackles me etc. He has a father at home but he is not too involved. So, I end up doing a lot more than most parents, which is why I didn't have more. If my husband had helped more I would have wanted more kids. And that I am a bit resentful of, but what can you do. |
