[quote=Anonymous]Honestly it didn't work out well for me. My mom had me at 42 and now in my mid 30s I have toddlers and a parent who has failing health. She was always in great shape but got cancer st the age of 74 and has gone down hill quickly. It would be much easier if my kids were in grade school while this was going on. I am also an only so everything is my sole responsibility. My dad was 44 when I was born, marathon runner, successful executive, always active ect ect but died from a heart attack at 75. He has older children from a first marriage who have kind of vanished from my moms life slowly but surely. Everything was peachy till I hit my thirties when one parent died and one became very ill, now I have a baby and two toddlers who are often times dragged to chemo appointments, know the home health aid by name and are often late to preschool because I just don't have my shit together. I love my mom and my kids and it's really really tough.[/quote]
