Since you are "threadless" - I will have to post to you on my thread.
I read that you W was expecting. Congratulations!
Most of my good friends - male and female are "geriatric" parents - as in having kids when they are over 40. I myself will probably be close to my mid-40's by the time the adoption process is complete.
The nice thing about being a "geriatric parent" is that your life is more settled - money is usually no longer an issue - and you have more time for your kids.
I am very happy for you!
take care, AG
AG,
I have a couple of threads floating around...... They are buried...
I appreciate your wishes... We are not quite there yet... Wifey and I are still in the "planning" phase for our family.... We have not yet "started".......
There are a lot more "geriatric parents"...... The good thing is some people think we look younger.... In our mid/late 30's...... I think from an energy perspective, it is much better to be a parent in your 20's..... HOWEVER, from a life experience and wisdom perspective, I think early 40's is better.... I see advantages and disadvantages of both....
I do admit to Wifey I only have one regret in my life.... That we did not meet in our 20's........ She gently reminds me God put us here at this point for a reason....... Yet, it would have been nice to have been married for 20 years... and have our children in high school...
In the past, we have told people we just met we have been married for 14 years..... It is so interesting to see how people believe it after seeing us together...... We are going to do this on our cruise as well.... We are going to tell everyone we are celebrating #14 instead of #1..... The cool thing is this "erases" the mess with my exW!
Take Care,
NMD
