56 with 12 year old twins. Tired but happy.

58 year old male. Our baby turns one this week. My wife is 45. We are having so much fun with our little guy. This is a child we both thought we would never have.

Another vote for a meet up. 54 with 2 1/2 year old.

47 with a 7 year old....

At 50, I have 11 and 13 year olds.

Counted two others like me: 56 with a 13-year-old. Honestly, I wish I'd had him when I was much younger, I could be having some fun but I'm here on homework duty. Anyway, outside of homework hassles, I love him to pieces.

Let's meet. Name the date, time and place.

Newly 50 year old here with 9 and 5 year old children conceived naturally.

56, 12 year old twins. I do wish we could meet up somehow

60 yr old with 14 yr old, conceived naturally and born when I was 46. Husband 12 yrs younger. Keeps me feeling ( but not always looking) young!

My mom was 43 when I came along in 1966. Now raising my own young kids. She has been a great mom and
Made sure to take excellent care of her health so she'd be around for me and my kids. It worked! She's 88 now and very healthy! So older moms , mind your own health - its a huge gift to your kids!!!

I have a 6 year old, and yeah, I'm almost 50. I was told to give up, forget about it, not going to happen, and suddenly, well, here she is. I'm exhausted, though. It's much easier parenting when you are younger.

So, do you have younger kids too? You are blessed to have been able to have a six year old (I am assuming it was natural?) I'm tired too. I'm 51 with a 7 year old. Lots of IVF stuff there, but I feel incredibly blessed.

Congratulations on your family. But what are you doing posting in the "Fifty and Over" forum if you're both in your low to mid 30's?

The thread was about us older generation folks and wondering how many of us have young children.

Oh - I thought she was posting about her kids - the 37, 32, and 3 year old! possible, if she got knocked up as a teen, no? Maybe she's supporting them all?

Will be 50 in a couple of weeks and have a 9 and a 7 year old. Was told by a fertility dr. (I had 2 miscarriages first) that I was too old - had both naturally! I am a stay at home mom and LOVE it (ok, there are some days that I don't)!!
