[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor had a child at 46 - her first. So, she's 54 with a 2nd grader and will be 64 when that child is a senior in high school. While they are happy, those numbers would make me think hard about the long-term implications of your deicsion to have a baby at 43.[/quote]

I never get the people who do the math like this. What does it mean to you to be 54 with a 2nd grader? Or 64 with a child who is a senior? Is that any more shocking than being, say, 50 with a second grader? Or being 60 when your child is a senior in high school? 54 and 60 both feel eons away to me. I’m 44, so they aren’t! My daughter is in kindergarten. I think I’m supposed to be so shocked at those ages that I would never consider having a baby at an advanced age, but that math never works on me. Had my one and only child at 39. I’m not having more because I feel old enough NOW, thank you, but not because 60 sounds too old to have a high school kid.[/quote]

I was a high school kid with a 60+ parent it and was too old. They didn’t plan it out that way; I was a surprise. That’s why I think about it. [/quote]
