My Mom was 40 when I was born. My sisters were 10 and 16 so I'm pretty sure I was an "oops". But.....she had alot of help with me from my sisters and I'm sure she appreciated it.

I was 22 when my first child was born and 26 when my second was born. I remember how tired I got all those years ago. I wanted to be a younger parent because I remember having an "older" Mom. She still did things with me and didn't become sick and frail with Alzheimer's until I was around 30 but that's still young to lose your Mom.

I guess there's pros and cons to both sides. I just cannot fathom having a baby at 66. She'll be 80 when the child becomes a teenager! Good luck trying to keep up with that!!
