[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wanted to have children earlier but couldn't due to financial issues. I am about to turn 35 and will be TTC soon. I already feel so tired and exhausted that the idea of caring for a new born seems terrifying. How do older parents deal with lack of energy to care of children?[/quote] 35 in this area is not far off from average. For real. You just deal. If you can get more fit now prebaby, that will help you later. But at the end of the day, you just muster up the strength to just deal with the daily fatigue. When you see your baby is utterly dependent on you/adults or hear him/her cry in the middle of the night, you suddendly get energy to get up. I was surprised at how caring and attentive I was. I am very low energy and not fit. I gave birth at 36. I was worried about being able to be there for every middle of the night cry. Surprisingly, I was. Mom strength. Mom power. It's real. [/quote]
