[quote=Anonymous]I had my daughter at 37 - so not very old by DC standards, but when I go home (Baltimore), I find I'm freaking elderly. Most of my friends have kids on their way to high school. The biggest difference, from what I can tell, is the energy level. You just don't have as much - even if you are in shape (as I am). However, I find that the financial difference is amazing. While my friends who had kids early really struggled at some level, I am able to take my daughter to Europe and do other things that my friends were not able to do. I find myself to be more laid back and wiser then I'm sure my 27 year oldself would have been. Eating cheerios off the floor? Dirt is good for you! Slight fever? No need for the doctor. You will find yourself parenting very differently then when you were younger. Good luck![/quote]
