[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you have to ask, it's not for you. I had two late in life - older than you, in fact. And not once did I - or do I - question my decision. [/quote] What does this mean? That you shouldn't do it if you consider in advance how challenging it will be? That parenting is a lot harder if you're older? Curious. [/quote] What's the sense in asking? You could be dead tomorrow at 25 or alive at 95 with 15 grandchildren. So it's not about age; it's about attitude. I work and yet I'm still at the park with my 8 and 4 year olds - right next to the 30 yo with her twin toddlers . . . or the 25 yo with her preschooler. What does it matter? If you keep questioning you'll drive yourself crazy. And FWIW, the first - at 38 - was a delightful accident, a one-shot deal. If I thought about my fertility and freaked out about AMA, she wouldn't be here today - and neither would my son. [/quote]
