[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waiting gives you the maturity, patience, and, generally, a better economic situation, which makes the very difficult process of raising children less difficult.[/quote] I got pregnant at 39 and had my child at 40. I so agree with this. I went to Baby & Me classes and I was by far the most laid-back parent. I couldn't believe how worked up the younger moms got over every little thing. By the time we had our son, we'd done our partying, traveling, carousing. We were ready to settle down and had financial security, a nice house, a big circle of friends with kids. We were solidly on the same page with things. I'm 55 with a teen about to head off to college. 55 is hardly geriatric. To me, we had the best of both worlds. A long time as a couple to enjoy ourselves; got to reset the clock with our child, enjoying all the fun kid things; and will send him off to the real world at about the time we're retiring. It's win-win-win.[/quote]
