[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby at 41 means you are 60 when child graduates HS.[/quote]

[b]In DC all the moms in Pre-K are early 40's, every single last one.[/b] If you have a baby in your twenties in Washington its like WHAT were YOU thinking ?? What no masters degree , no law partnership….what a loser.

Inside the beltway teh average 60 year old looks like a 35 year old in Iowa, maybe better. LOL[/quote]

huh, I haven't found this to be the case at all. 
I'm in NW DC and have had 3 kids in both public and private PK and I'd say the average age of PK moms is about 35 to 38.  There are a few each year in their mid 40's.  There have been 1 or 2 turning 50.  
[b]I'm now 41 with my last in PK and I'm clearly in the eldest 25% of parents in her class. [/b]
Contrary to what you hear on this forum, most people (EVEN IN DC!) have their kids in their early to mid 30's. 
Every mom on my block did (again, NW DC).  They're all highly successful, Ivy educated, (yes, even some law partners or senior associates).  But they had kids in their early to mid 30's.

+100 If she is 41 now in PreK, it means she had the last when she was 38, not 41.[/quote]
