[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. When we're about 53, the plan is that DH and I are retiring and cruising the islands.

Good luck to all of you older parents on here! It takes a special kind. I couldn't imagine.[/quote]

Hope that works out for you.[/quote]

LOL!!  Life has a funny way of not working out the way you expect. That is all.[/quote]

Why all the backlash over this comment? I thought it was fine. Not everyone has to live the same life you do, on the same schedule.[/quote]
NP, but it struck me the wrong way too.  OP is worried about something and asking for the perspective of other parents.  PP doesn't have that perspective, so she probably should have stayed out of it.  Instead, she decided to comment about how her (PP's) plan is so much better and she won't have to worry at all about the thing that OP is worrying about. Plus, the smugness.  [/quote]

I don't think she said it was better, just different. There's nothing wrong with that, nor is there anything wrong with being an older parent, is there?[/quote]
