[quote=Anonymous]I am 48 with 9, 7, and 5 year old.  47 was actually a great year, but I haven’t been through the teenage years yet.   However, we spent most of our 30s going through fertility treatments and I had a bunch of miscarriages, so 33-38 were just an absolute dumpster fire for me. At the time, it seemed like all my friends were enjoying life with young kids and new adventures and my life was just stuck in a terrible place. I do think that I am now a bit happier than most of my friends now because I still have a lot of parenting firsts left to experience and they are becoming empty nesters.  Having been so low, none of the mundane problems of kids and work in my 40s have seemed so bad and I never take the opportunity to spend time with my kids for granted because I had seriously faced what life would be like if I never got to be a parent.   I bet 47 was the most unhappy age for those people who followed a typical path and had typical timing of life events.  It’s just a matter of aggregate data.  [/quote]
