[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my third at 46, and I can tell you it was fine for a few years, but now that she is 9, I'm exhausted every single second. Parenthood is for younger folks. I do envy my friends from high school and college, who are empty nesters. I have another decade to go, at least, before that happens. The fatigue is the worst of it. Plus I'm going through menopause, and my teenagers are going through puberty.

I never thought about this when we decided to try for #3. I was so energetic then! Now I'm tired. Did I mention that? Did I mention how forgetful and fog-brained I am? That's menopause, and the demands of three kids, all crashing into one another. It's very hard, and I do my best, but feel I fall short every day, and that's even more exhausting.

I'm so tired now. I'm going to sleep. [/quote]

Hello! I feel the same way! had twins at 44. Everynight at 9PM I fall alseep where ever I am from exhaustion. We can't remember from one minute to the next what we just said to each other.[/quote]

Wow, I don't know how you do it!  :-)
