[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think having a kid at 43 is the problem - its what happens later.  My husbands parents had him when they were 43 and 45.  We are now 38 and doing the whole sandwich generation thing, years earlier than our friends.  His dad is now 83 and has dementia and is in declining health.  DH and I both work full time, leave 4 hours away from his dad and we have 3 young kids.  It is horrible.  Also DH lost his mother when he was 25, which has done a number on him both emotionally and mentally.

This.  60s is when cancers and other serious ailments start to pop up, even is formerly very heath people. And 70s-80sis even more dicey as to how your healthy will be.

My friends that have parents their 70s-80s really struggle to balance the needs of young children/elementary and schools yrs with old parents that need help managing Drs appointments, various medical conditions, nursing homes, and just big parts of life they can no longer handle independently.  It is hard[/quote]
