[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the OP's question - I've never heard anyone say "I'm glad I have older parents". Of course older parents will defend their decision. But talk to those kids, their opinion matters too.[/quote] Older parents are often more financially stable and settled in their careers — and better able to focus on parenting than those same parents would have been able to do earlier in their lives. There are major disadvantages — such as elderly grandparents which impact family dynamics and resources, but also many advantages. I’m quite pleased that my parents decided to have me. And a special shout out to Mom for taking me sledding at an age when that probably wasn’t fun for her. Having older parents made me very conscious of historical events as well as more personal ones. I’m glad that I have had opportunities open to me that wouldn’t have been available had I been born earlier in my parents’ lives.[/quote]
