[quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids. 24, 21, 12, and 9. I can't speak to being pregnant in 40's, but one thing I hadn't realized ahead of time was that the older kids really needed me after school. So parenting was my full time job - the little kids during the day while the older ones were in school then the nanny came in and watched the babies while I drove the older kids around after school. Also, because there's a big age gap the kids will automatically not be as close as if they were going through the same stages at the same time. So on one hand you're trying to create this bond and on the short-term you're trying to keep the little ones out of the hair of the big ones while they're doing homework or have friends over. Because the friends will think the little kids are adorable but the actual siblings will not. So finding that balance is really tough. [/quote]
