[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WANT to be snarky about it, but I agree, it's mainly international families, or those who just don't seem to have any real cultural understanding of how things work, not your garden variety of helicopter parents.

But I will be snarky about one thing, just checking out the parents' page for my DD, the parents are all SO OLD! or at least really old looking.

I'm 48, but I look a lot better compared to most of the other parents on FB.

Agree, launched both of ours before our 50th birthdays. We had them during med school/at the end of law school. It was great! Though now we have an empty nest and none of our peers will for at least 3 more years. [/quote]

Right.  And you ruined your much of your 20s and early 30s.[/quote]

NP, but I don't think "ruined" is the right word for Med School and Law School.

And, if you'd like an itemized list of how I spent my 20s, I don't think you would consider it ruined in any possible way. Masters degree (check), fun with friends and dating (check), travel (check), cool jobs in major metro area (check). I was just lucky that I found someone in my late 20s, we had similar desires to start a family, got pregnant easily, and that we had the education/careers to live comfortably.

Everyone has their own journey. But it's definitely sour grapes to think that I somehow ruined a decade of my life by having a child at 30 and 32.

My husband and I are active, fit, free of childcare, and rich in our early 50s. It's a pretty sweet life. (knock wood)
