[quote=Anonymous]I had babies in my forties. I also had one in my mid-twenties. Now I'm in my mid-fifties. In the DC area it's no issue because there are plenty of older parents. I'm much more tired overall and have more health issues than I had when younger. I don't do the active things with my later kids that I did with my first. I have more maturity, patience, experience, and perspective, which is great for parenting. Looking back, I should have taken much better care of my health and made sure I got more rest. And prepare yourself for perimenopause with elementary level kids. All the advice books are aimed at women whose kids are grown, telling them to take time for themselves blah blah. [/quote]
