[quote=Anonymous]I had our youngest at 40, she's now 13. I've always been an older mom, but I was the child myself of older parents (my parents were near 50 when I was born!). So it feels normal to me, I guess. What I like about being an older mom of a teen is that age has given me a good feel for what really matters vs. what is just noise (95% of what moms complain about is just noise, IMO). I pick my battles wisely, and keep them to only the most important issues facing my kid. Also, other moms of young teens are typically 10+ years younger. I don't dislike them and I smile and say hi, but I don't seek out their company. As a 50-something, I am in a different phase of life -- past the mid-life crisis stage, settled, peaceful, and not looking for problems with people. It's a generational thing. I don't want drama, I'm just happy.[/quote]
