I Have a Question

I never thought it was odd. And I appreciate that I was raised a little more old fashioned, but overall it wasn't too different. My mom didn't have as much energy as she would've if she had had me younger. I think that was her only regret about it. She died in 2011 at the age of 68. Part of me is a little sad that she couldn't have had me when she was younger so we could have had more time together. However, at the same time I was young enough that taking care of her for the last couple of years of her life wasn't too hard on my physically. I mean, it was hard obviously, but not as hard as it would've been if I'd been older, you know? I think, regardless, there are the same pros and cons as having a child at any other age. Sure, you'll have less energy and less time with your children. But you'll have young children to help you around the house once they get a little older...and as for the amount of time with them, that's never a given. I say talk to your doctor and if things look good for you, go for it. Btw, my dad is still going strong at 72. I just turned 30 this April. :)
