[quote=Anonymous]I had my child at 43 (married late, didn’t want to have children on my own). No regrets seeing as the alternatives didn’t work for me (do it earlier by myself or not at all). I knew going in that the grandparents wouldn’t be able to help out the same they did for our nieces and nephews, that most our friends kids would be in a different stage of life (so group trips would be hard with them) and that we’d be among the oldest parents at the kids school. There are pluses like our incomes being high and our having seen a lot from watching our nieces/nephews/friends kids that allows us to make really informed choices for our own. We pay attention to our health because we are older parents and energy levels have been on par as far as we can tell. It’s still been amazing and I feel very fortunate. [/quote]
