[quote=Anonymous]My SIL is 25 and they have a 1yo. They have been on 2 transcontinental trips and to Brazil since my nephew was born. She has had good luck with breastfeeding and she is young and healthy enough that she bounced back physically pretty quickly in terms of energy level and being able to be active. I am a decade older and most of my peers who are just now having kids are exhausted and can’t lose the baby weight without a lot of effort. The handful of friends my age who had their kids 10 years ago had a similar experience to SIL—they had the energy to just drag the baby along with them and do what they wanted in life, and I envy the fact that they will be in their early or mid 40’s when they have empty nests and can enjoy life a lot more. I have friends who are 40 and have a college freshman and friends who are 40 and have preschoolers. If I had met my husband earlier I definitely would have had kids earlier.[/quote]
