[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two kids, one at 41 and another at 43. I was viewed as geriatric as a parent by literally everyone. It gets tiring having everyone assume you are the grandparent. It’s hard to find mom friends for me. It’s a lonely road! Money helps but doesn’t solve this. Also, your kids need and want YOU, not the nanny. It’s going to be harder than you imagine. That said it’s your life do do what you want, I’m just relaying my experience. [/quote]

I also had kids in my late 30s and struggle to find mom friends. In my area, women are done by 30, so I’m a decade older. It will be lonely.

Also, this couple needs to consider whether they can change their routines. For example, could they quit traveling for a few years? Babies do not want to travel. I’ve regretted every plane flight I’ve taken with a child under 5. Sure, other people do it, and it’s not a hill to die on, but it’s the principle that life will change drastically. Can they put the baby’s needs first?[/quote]
