[quote=Anonymous][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]

Exactly!

You see all the posts on this forum about "sandwich generation,"  and you are forcing your child into being in that spot![/quote]

So, you're saying no one who replied to the OP should have had kids? What age is the cut off in your world for having a child?

FWIW, older parents tend to be better off financially and can help their children with college and other financial hard knocks that might come their way. And people are living longer regardless of when they have kids -- most people will be sandwiched no matter when they have kids.[/quote]
