[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what we younger Moms need to understand is that most Moms over 40 wished they'd had their kids earlier. They can spin it however they want (career, travel, etc), but the fact is that some of them envy younger Moms their youth. I don't think there's anything wrong with admitting it.

While having a great career and being financially comfortable is wonderful, not all 40+ Moms are rolling in the dough. In fact, many are probably living paycheck to paycheck like a lot of other folks. To assume that most older Moms are these accomplished women who are world travelers with hundreds of thousands in the bank is absurd.

This nails it on the head for me.  I'm an older mom (1st at 37 and lost 2nd at 5 months, age 39, in a very traumatic loss) and actually never thought I'd even want kids.  That and I simply wasn't mature/ready/established enough at a younger age to have children.  It is one of my two regrets in life.  Maybe the grass is always greener, but that's my perspective.[/quote]
