[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 54 YO Mom with a just turned 8 DD. She was our miracle surprise baby after 5 rounds of IVF to get her older brother who is 11. I had her when I was 46–I often think how young I was when her brother was born!  I remember the parenting class at VHC in Arlington when he was born—I think I was the youngest mom in attendance at 42!  [/quote]
That doesn't sound too bad but then you do the math and you'll be 64 when she graduates high school?  I can't fathom it. [/quote]

I'm an older parent who had older parents. My dad was 50 when I was born, my mom was 46. I was a "surprise" addition to their large family. When my dad was 90, he told me: "Thanks for always making me feel young." When you have older parents, you don't think it's weird because it's your life. It's what you know. I loved my parents' perspective. They were never rattled, they were unflappable, they had seen it all. They had a wisdom and a quiet confidence that the younger parents could never have. I feel very lucky to have had older parents.[/quote]
