[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was 43 when she had me. I didn't really like it TBH. Its the other side of the issue this board never shows. When I was 15/16/17 my parents were getting old and really didn't have anything in common with my friends parents. People claim it doesn't matter but it mattered to me.  They dressed older, they moved slower, and they started coming down with (manageable) but age related health conditions.  They were active, fit, and working but they were active, fit and working 60 year olds. Thats much different than 45 years old as most of my friends parents were.  Also when I turned 30 and had my own kids my mom was 73 and definitely past her prime. She didn't die till 83 but my oldest was still only 10 and youngest was 4. I would have loved to have some more active years on that end of the spectrum too. [/quote]

I am confused.  You would rather not have been born?  OP can't turn back time and have her second child at 25.[/quote]

Agree. It's too late now.  My mom had me at 38 and I have similar thoughts - I hate that my parents won't see my kids graduate from high school although I'm lucky as they are still very active now in their mid-70s.  That said, here I am at 37 yo and having a kid this year.  My mom laughed as I gave her grief about having me so late, but of course I'm still happy I'm here :) [/quote]

Sorry- I meant its too late now to turn back time. NOT too late to have a baby. [/quote]
