[quote=Anonymous]I was 29 with my first abs 34 with my 3rd. In NW DC I was basically considered a teen mom among my eldest private school parent cohort. With my third I was still the you best mom in the class but many were only a year or two older.
DH, on the other hand, was 42 with our first and 47 with our third. 
It’s working out fine for us… my career is not great mostly because I have a PhD and did not start in my career until later on. We are more established than if my husband were my age, but I don’t think it would have made a huge difference since I have family money. 
Our kids are all healthy (for now) and my husband has more energy than I do, but I worry about him being 65 when our you test goes to college. I hear that after 55-60 things start to go down hill fast.
Husban’s parents are early 80s and still more or less healthy, but have no relationship with our kids. My parents are younger (mid 60s) and still working, but very much involved with our kids. My parents play a big role in my kids’ lives (as my grandparents did in mine) and I hope I can do the same for our kids.[/quote]
