[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly it gets a little old hearing people talk about how they needed to live their lives before having a kid at 40. You will likely die before your child is finished needing you, and not really get to have much of an experience with grandchildren. Kinda selfish to keep saying me, me, me, I traveled!! Think it, fine, but no one is impressed. You should be less worried about your energy level than the fact that you will probably miss out on a lot of DC's life, and may saddle the kid with an aging parent while he/she has young children. Just sayin', save the "I lived, and that's what's important" crap.[/quote]

Wow - what a "mature" response from a young parent!

LOL!

Get over yourself.

Shit happens, fool, and you deal.  Not everyone gets knocked up at 23 (or 15, according to the PP).  I had no interventions - had both as one-shot deals at 37 and 41.  Do you think I should regret having them so "late" in life?  They're great kids who are happy and have everything they need.  They attend private, which we can afford b/c we're so goddamn old, according to you, and they have activities and friends to keep them occupied.  And even I have energy to take them to the park!!  Imagine that!  I'm 45!

I don't understand the venom, PP.  Are you jealous?  I work PT, have a nanny, and and OLD mother (75 - God forbid she should still drive) who steps in when there's a conflict in our schedules, as we both work.

And guess what?  I have my summers off!  So I'm with my children - no need for camp!!!!!

I have a good life for an old gal, no?  I'm healthy, in pretty good shape (despite some urinary incontinence), and energetic.

And b/c we're so fucking old, we invested in long-term healthcare.  Does that make you happy? At least my kids won't be wiping my ass and changing my diapers in the next few years.

You make me laugh, PP.  You must be incredibly insecure to post such inane comments.

yawn . . . Get some rest; tomorrow is another day. [/quote]
