[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 50 now and I wouldn’t have a child last 35 knowing how I feel now. My son is 20 and I stetted feeling tired by his junior/senior year in HS. So for me it isn’t the age you have the baby that matters but it’s the age you are still actively parenting them at home in HS. [/quote]

I mean this kindly but you shouldn't feel ragged at 50.  If you have a kid at 40 you will be 60 when your kid is 20 and mid 50s when your kid is a teenager and again you shouldn't feel ragged at that age take.care of your health.[/quote]

I am a single parent and I've raised him by myself. It was doable for his young, active years because I was in my 30s and early 40s. I was tired by 45 and found out I had an under active thyroid. Even with medication, I am still tired. It doesn't help that I teach kindergarten. The only time I don't feel tired is in the summer when I work a "normal" job in an office. I don't have to be at work until 8:30 and my commute is only 35 minutes. During the school year, I have to be at school by 7:30 and my commute is nearly an hour. It's a lot.[/quote]
