[quote=Anonymous]This is a tough question and no one can possibly help you with, really.  Being an older parent can be tough. It can feel really tiresome to have strangers constantly ask if you are the grandparent. It really wears on one after that assumption is made constantly. I always thought I looked young and that wouldn't happen to me but it does happen. A lot. I get tired of being the oldest parent at school pickups and school functions. I have money and resources and am a good attentive parent at an older age but I have found my energy waning and I find myself dreaming about not having to jump up from my comfy recliner 100 times a day to attend to whiny kids needing things all the time. I am in my late 40's yet I do feel my age starting to slow me down a bit despite many hours spent trying to keep fit on the treadmill. There are things you haven't thought of like that that will be factors down the road. There's the need for reading glasses to make out the teeny print on the kids ibuprofen when they get sick. The worry about something happening to you before the kids can take care of themselves, so many things. Despite all the complaints listed I would not change my decision and of course happy I have my kids, just sometimes struggle with the demands of it.[/quote]
