[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had all four of our kids before they turned 30, still managed to fit in grad school, made good money, gave them a great upbringing -- and were empty nesters before turning 50.  We retired a couple years later and are now hands on [i]grandparents[/i] of elementary school kids in our late 50s -- hands on when we're not traveling, that is.

I can't imagine having little kids in yours 50s.  It's not natural.     [/quote]

You are old and part of a different era (thank goodness).  [/quote]

Ha ha if you only knew. Jealous much?  We all know that, all things being equal, this is definitely the better way to go for all concerned.  Everyone we know who did it differently now envies us.  Looking back, we know we were lucky – but also smart.[/quote]

I don’t even you, I wouldn’t have given up my 20s and 30s traveling for anything. Now, I’m enjoying raising my kids. I’m glad you were happy with your way, and I’m happy with mine. You realize there are different (and equally good ways) of doing things. It’s not binary. [/quote]
