Parenting after 35

Lurker introducing myself

It seems like I have kids way older then you guys, 22, 18 and 15 and pregnant.  But it's interesting to see what parents are going through this time around.

Re: Lurker introducing myself

  • Hi Pearly! Welcome!

    There ARE a few moms on this board who have older children (teens and early twenties) but there are a lot of us who were "first-timers" after 35. (I had my one and done son at 39.) It's a nice mix of experiences and we all support each other.

    Looking forward to getting to know you.

  • Welcome! My oldest is 13, a lot has changed since he was a baby, so I can imagine all the new stuff that's out there since your youngest was a baby. But I'm guessing it will be fun for you, like being in a candy store.

    I'm sure you'll be able to provide some insight into our teens in angst!!

  • Yeah mine is my first and probably my only... I have nieces and nephews (and a great-niece and great-nephew) that I practiced on though.  ; )  I'm loving being a mom- regardless that both my mom, sister, and grandmother were all grandmothers by the age that I had my first child. : )

    Definitely, I would love to share experiencing as I've gone through so many.  Having one son finish college another about to go in and my daughter dealing with high school girl drama.  I've learned so much from them and look forward to learning from this little guy who I am so in love with already.

    Thank you for welcoming me.

  • Welcome and Congrats!  I have a house full of girls. (20,14,12 and 1)  One thing I love this time around is: Online shopping!  Amazon Mom is the best.
