[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an old mom and I really wish that I had had my kids when I was young. Of course it wasn't entirely up to me when I met my husband, but I wish I had met him earlier too! I wish that we had time to be married without kids instead of being pregnant right away. I wish that I had more energy to be with my young children. I had an amazing career so I don't think that I left much on the table there and don't regret anything from that angle, so I suppose that's one advantage. But I'm sorry that my own parents are so much older that they are having a harder time being grandparents let alone whether I will be able to be a grandparent! Also, you are still young when your kids go off to college so you can also enjoy your life on the other end! When all is said and done it is much better to be younger, imo. But it is what it is and I couldn't care less about anyone else's decisions. I also don't chose my friends based on their ages. At this point, I barely know how old anyone is anyway![/quote]

I agree, but I do really appreciate how much patience I have now. I was kind of a basket case in my 20s, and now in my late 30s it takes a lot to get me upset.

On the whole, if your life works out that way, it's very nice to have kids when you're young. But if it doesn't work out that way for you there are plenty of rewards to older motherhood.

And I'm sure there are plenty of 25 year old moms with kids at the Big 3. They're just all married to 55 year olds. :D[/quote]
