[quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine did it at 40. Her DD is now 7, and overall she is very happy, but she does not date and that aspect of her life seems either to be on hold or over. At first, she had a live-in nanny. Once her DD started first grade, she switched to relying on aftercare/occasional babysitters/strategic play dates. Her mom is not healthy but still is able to come up to take care of DD during some school vacations and hosts DD at home for a couple weeks in the summer. My friend absolutely loves being a mom, it helped her find balance in her life, but she doesn't have much room in her life for nonessentials, because single parenting is very mentally/emotionally consuming. She is also lucky that she has a fairly easy child with no major problems, which isn't always the case.[/quote]
