[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I don’t want to be in my 60’s with a kid graduating HS. [/quote] When our youngest of three graduated from HS, I was 59 and DH was 62. Like you,OP, we are both healthy, energetic, athletic, and financially in great shape. Our DD is a mature and lovely young woman, and we thoroughly enjoyed parenting her from babyhood through adolescence. A bonus of older parenthood was that we were much more chill with her than with the older kids (both of whom nonetheless turned out to be wonderful young men who adore their little sister). Finally, for those who express concern about what it’s like to be the old parents on the playground or at the pre-prom dinner, of the three parent cohorts we experienced, we enjoyed and remain closest to those who were the parents of DD’s friends. I say go for it, OP. [/quote]
