[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my kids dearly, but still I would not recommend having them in my forties as I did.[/quote]

My aunt is 59 and has a 13yr old and a 16yr old. She is wrecked and is not shy about telling me it is because of her age. Before i had kids and was just married to her nephew she would tell me all the time to hurry up and have kids. She also says she feels very bad that her career took a hit in her 40s and advised me to take the blow in my 20s/30s. She was right. Im in my mid 30s, school aged kids and took a few years off when they were little and I was only making 50k/yr, so it was NBD, nor a financial hit. I picked it back up after they were preschoolers and am now in a six figure leadership role. By the time I hit 45 and they will have just graduated HS, I will be hitting my peak earning, just in time. Could not imagine, even in my career now, having babies. She's waiting up at night for teens and dealing with some serious drama at 59…and when I'm 59 my kids will be 33 & 31.[/quote]Not everyone has the option of having kids early due to many factors, infertility being a big one.

Wrecked or not, bet she wouldn't trade those kids.[/quote]
