[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad I had my kids at 24 and 26. I was an empty nester at 43 ( younger one started college a year early). My friend had a 2 year old at 43. We can travel and do whatever we want. Why would I want to be in my 40s with babies? None of that 20s partying would have been worth it. Why put off kids?

It was so easy. I was energetic. I don't understand mom's who need their mom to come help for months after giving birth.  I left the hospital after 24 hrs ( first child)  and 8 hrs (second child )after giving birth. Getting up at night was no big deal. I trained them to sleep through the night by 6 weeks. My older one slept 7pm-7am. It was easy.[/quote]

I am 43 and enjoying life with my 3 kids. My youngest is 4 and I adore her. I went to college, grad school, partied and traveled a ton in my 20. I had 3 children in my 30s and juggled being a working mom and PT working mom. Now I am a SAHM of 3 and trying to really enjoy them and life. We travel as a family and I am also able to travel with friends.[/quote]
