[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 43 with a 3- and a 6-year old. I love my kids and being a mom and am contemplating one more baby. I come from a line of women with strong and long fertility. Oh, and I live in New York City where almost all of my friends had at least one child in their late 30s or early 40s, some in their mid 40s. There is a single mom at my older child's school with 3 kids: one she gave birth to herself at age 52, and the other two were twins via a surrogate when she was 55. [b]She is 70 now and has 3 high school kids, and she looks amazing (although I should point out that she is well off and probably has a lot of help). [/b]

That’s sad.  My parents were very healthy 70+ year olds in my late 40s (not when I was in HS!!).  Age 70 to 80 is very different.  These kids are going to be in college and struggling with elder care issues that people usually don’t deal with until their 40s and beyond.  Not to mention never having their grandparents around.[/quote]
