For me? 50 is too old to have kids at home. I cannot imagine parenting young kids at my age. I adore my grandkids! I also love that they go home. Those of you doing it have my admiration. Just glad it's not me.

My sister is doing it - and doing it well. I'm more worried about the teenage years when my sister is in her mid-late 60s


I'm 55 w a 9 yo. I'm tired. Not a single mother. Rewarding and tough.

My teenagers have actually been really easy, I can see an older me handling them quite well. Infant/toddler years kicked my butt though. Sleep deprivation is brutal.

Totally disagree that 50 is too old to wear shorts as one of the PP's said. If you've got nice legs, hell yes wear shorts! And that also brings me back to my first bullet point - you're too old to care what others think of you anyhow.


They said "short shorts" and I tend to agree with that. Not that many people should be wearing short shorts (any age).

Just girls?


I am speaking about men doing it. I don't find that 50 year old women check out 18-21 year old men


If you're 50+, then you're old enough to remember The Graduate
