[quote=Anonymous]I met my DH at age 20. Married at 25 and had my DD at age 32. My husband and I were probably about the median for parental age when considering DD’s classmates. Now I’m 41 and have never been able to have #2. If we are lucky and can somehow become parents again, this time we will be 42-42 and older than the parent cohort. I’m sure we will get lots of judgment. But you know what? I have a great marriage and career and raising my DD has been the best thing that ever happened to me. If we had started a family at 20 or 25, who knows what could have happened. This is the hand dealt to us. I lost a parent at age 31. There are just no guarantees. As long as I’m keeping my kid(s) safe, healthy and loved, I say I’m doing things right. [/quote]
