[QUOTE="DDD, post: 47701, member: 35"] I had my easy child at the ripe old age of 19. easy child/difficult child was born to GFGmom and came home to our house when I was 47....and husband was 55. My husband and I did soccer, golf, basketball and baseball with easy child/difficult child and I was President of his PTO for three schools. difficult child was in and out of our home for years but moved in permanently when I was 62. My husband and I do not have the energy we had ten years ago but we still do OK for him. The boys have a little sister 5 who usually visits about thirty minutes a week at our house. She is energetic and darling and we are pooped by the time she leaves. LOL! Yep, aging happens. The other factor that many older parents don't "get" is that your children are usually not welcome into the "inside" groups with their peers because 60 year old parents and 30 year old parents don't "party" or establish a personal bond. easy child/difficult child was lucky because he was gifted enough to be included in all the top groups as a team member etc. I always contributed time to the teams & as an extrovert was usually able to give the young moms distance. Two years ago I co-chaired the middle school graduation dance and it was apparent that I can no longer blend. That is just life, and there are stages for everything. DDD [/QUOTE]
