[quote=Anonymous]No regrets at all. I had one kid at 37 and it's the best decision I've ever made. I was actually just thinking this morning that it's crazy but motherhood has been literally everything I hoped it would be. I have a great relationship with my kid, as does her dad. I am so glad I had a baby after I worked through some lingering issues from my childhood and had a level of maturity that enables me to be the parent she needs. I'm also glad not to be parenting at a phase in my career where things are more up in the air or where there is more stress -- I have been able to move into a flexible job without losing seniority or pay rate. Best of both worlds.

Another reason I'm glad I waited is that it prevented me from having a second baby, which I know I would have wanted to otherwise. And a second kid would have been great in some ways, and I'm sure I would have loved them. But I think having one kid is a really practical thing for me and helps me to be a better mom to my kid and to take better care of myself. It reduces so much financial pressure and makes a lot of things easier.

It's just funny because I'm a total cliche (the older mom who only had one because she waited "too long") and I could not be happier about it.[/quote]
