[quote=Anonymous]DH is about ten years older, so he was late 30s and I was late 20s when we had our kids (we waited about two years after marriage). The benefit for me of being younger was lack of fertility problems (though for any given person this might not be a problem later on), energy level, and adaptability. There was an adjustment to parenthood, but I don't think it was nearly what some my friends in their late 30s/early 40s have experienced. I just hadn't had as long to establish the life I wanted, so the sacrifices didn't hit me as hard. It's probably worse from a career standpoint to have the kids younger. From a grandparent standpoint, the age difference between DH's parents and my parents does make a difference and it's not so surprising that grandparents in their 60s are more involved than those in their 70s/80s.[/quote]
