[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I wonder if older moms/parents have a hard time adjusting because you have an extra 10-15 years of independence and not having to think about the well being of a young kid. I had my first kid at 31 and it was exhausting and such a huge shift in how I thought about my day to day life. [/quote] I think this must be really personal and is probably informed by the circumstances that lead up to the pregnancy more than the age of the mom. For example, I was also 31 when my first was born and found the adjustment the easiest thing in the world. But I’d also spent better part of the preceding decade trying to organize my life to be ready for kids so I was over the moon about everything from the positive pregnancy test onward.[/quote]
