[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally would not have a kid in my 40s. Had my youngest at 35 and even that is kinda pushing it IMO. My husband and I know multiple people our age, who are still in their prime and who’s kids are off to college. A few even are already grandparents. And my youngest is just starting elementary. It is what it is, but if given the choice I would of had them younger. [/quote]

You are 40-42 and know multiple people your age who are already grandparents?  I know of one that age...she had her daughter our senior year of high school.  I wouldn't exactly make light of teen pregnancy.[/quote]

Yeah PP are we missing something here? Early 40s with grandkids? I would say this is not typical, or viewed favorably, by families that value attending college and attaining some measure of financial and career stability prior to having kids. And no disrespect to teen moms, it’s a huge amount of work, but it’s not something I’d wish on my kids as it’s a tough road. [/quote]

I had my first child at 25. She was born three months after I finished my Master's degree. We took her to freshman year of college last week. I'm 43. How was I a teenage mother? Second kid is a junior in high school. [/quote]

Wait, so are you a grandparent? [/quote]
