[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm reading this from the other end of the journey. My only child, who I gave birth to at 28, just finished high school and is going to college (whatever that looks like) in the fall. We moved to and settled in DC not really having a clue what we were in for. We were idealistic folks working in the nonprofit sector for beans. Throw in a divorce and a decade and a half of coparenting and some real years of very iffy financial insecurity and a remarriage on top of that. Would I opt not to do it knowing what I know now? No, of course not. Our kid is the best thing that happened to either one of us. But life may throw you some curveballs. Planning is smart. Thinking through things is smart. But if you really truly in your heart want to parent, do it. [/quote]
