[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife had my now 17year old son @ 41, and my soon to be 21year old DD at 37.   Our first turned 37 this year - huge gap.  We're stupid, crazy, all of the above...they keep us young though..lol

PSA:  Have kids when you're in your twenties.  Should of listened to our parents.[/quote]

If your oldest is 37 and your wife had your youngest 17 years ago at the age of 41....that means that there is a twenty year age difference between your oldest and your youngest which means that your wife had your oldest when she was 21.  You did listen to your parents after all, you just exceeded their expectations by having a kid in your 30's and another kid in your 40's, too  :D .

It should of read "all your kids". We sort of listened,lol, but then careers took over, didn't want anymore, then bought a six bedroom house and decided to fill it :(.  It wasn't bad having them late in life, at least in their early years, but it's when they got to MS & HS.  All the running between different school/club team sports (they were/are very active), back to back social activities, plus they went to p- school out of the area so the commuting came into play.   Then and now the college prep and search, visiting colleges....all this while you're in YOUR late 50's.... :roll:

If you're independently wealthy, go for it! :mrgreen:   [/quote]
