[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the young mom, please know that the "you're a baby" means "you have your whole life ahead of you," is likely said in the warmest way possible and is not a comment on your abilities.

Thank you! I am sure they all mean well, but I still feel out of place there. Older moms look to me like they have it all figured it out. They are always on top of everything... I just had my third at 34 so by the time he goes to preschool/kindergarten I will be surrounded by women much closer to my age[/quote]

I'm the old mom above, 41 with a 5yo and a 1yo. I don't even think 7 years is that big of a difference. Maybe if you were 25, I'd be checking to make sure you've heard of my cultural references but other than that, would gladly hang out with you. And if you thought I was too old then...oh well, next! ;)

But in any case 34 is a perfect age. :-)

As for looking like we have it figured out, I do think that with age comes the realization that we don't owe anyone anything, so that does give you a certain confidence boost. But the truth is, all we wanna do is take a nap. :lol:[/quote]
