[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 50 now and I wouldn’t have a child last 35 knowing how I feel now. My son is 20 and I stetted feeling tired by his junior/senior year in HS. So for me it isn’t the age you have the baby that matters but it’s the age you are still actively parenting them at home in HS. [/quote] You would have had a child past 35 if it was your only chance to be a mom. You just do it and figure it out. I'm 45 with a 9 year old now and love it. Who knows what the teen years will bring but we're looking forward to it. I also think that for me at least, I think I'm a better, calmer parent than I would have been if I'd had my kid younger. That wasn't really an option for me anyway, but I think age has helped me become more patient and self-aware, and that has been really useful for parenting. I can see how the energy of youth would help with the early years, but the older my kid gets, the more grateful I am for my age now. [/quote]
