[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think about how awkward it will be trying to fit in with other parents half your age. Your kids will squirm![/quote]

I don’t think that’s true at all in the DC area. I had my first at 28, and am more often than not, the youngest parent by 5 or more years. [/quote]

Exactly! I would think a very young parent would have more trouble fitting in here.

Also even if you are from somewhere like Utah, keep in mind many Women there have their last baby around 40. [/quote]

This is true. DH had our first when I was 19 and he was 22. It is way more common to see much older mothers in this area. I would not say we do not “fit in” because we have a very nice circle of friends, but in the beginning there were definitely some questions. Haha Overall, most people worth being friends with in this area do not care about age as much as they do about what type of person you are. I would say to any women or man who is financially and emotionally prepared to have a baby to go for it no matter your age. 41 is definitely not too old![/quote]

*DH and I. Haha not just DH. [/quote]
