But there is definitely a generation gap between myself and DD’s parents. I think it effects her ability to make friends.


Do you live in the DC area?

I have a 7 year old son and he's looking forward to being a big brother. Other than my student loans, I'm in great financial shape with a house that will be paid off soon.

I plan on staying in great physical shape so I can be there for my children as long as possible.


Just curious...did you conceive naturally ?

I don't believe it! I am 48 and all my three kids are in college now. I am so happy in empty house! I travel a lot and truly don't want to deal with teenagers in my 50s on a daily basis.


I'm in my 50's and have two teenagers. It's awesome.

Problem one. Your eggs are not so good at that age. Many misscariages. Problem two. You are very old when your kids still need you. They will never have an active and fun grandma or any reasonable expectoration that you will be functional while they still need you.
