[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never regretted it. Best decison eve. Was 24 and 26 when I had my kids.  At 44 my kids are 20 abr 18. Its amazing. I feel so bad for my peers who have toddlers.[/quote]

You are so right. When you are younger, it's incredible how much energy you have. I'm 44 and have a 5 year old. I wish I could travel and go somewhere, but can't with such a young child. On the other hand, I have travelled a lot before kids, so can't complain much. [/quote]

Don’t feel bad for me! Dh and I married young and spent years having adventures, traveling, moving whenever we wanted and having a ball. We hit 40 and were kinda felt bored. We had so many years of just us (which had been awesome) but what big new thing was left? We certainly didn’t feel tired or worn out because life had been pretty much based on our whims.

Were we missing out? Would we regret not being parents? So we jumped in and have a wonderful four year old. Having a great time! Plenty of energy for all the new fun little guy adventures. Both of our grandparents lived to over 100 and our parents are super active (my mom could our run me any day) and seem a decade younger than their peers. Maybe we just got lucky, who knows. No regrets waiting so long. I’m glad we had our total freedom for the wild, young years. Now we are totally fine with being more settled and creating security for our son.

There is no right age. I don’t feel sorry for a 25 year old mom who has serious responsibilities, or 30 year old moms trying to balance motherhood at an important time in her career, or we oldies which saved the beat for last. All ages have their own downsides and perks![/quote]
