Some Other Thoughts on ‘Midlife Moms’

Share via

I was outraged at the selfish attitude of Lynne Norris.

Our third child was born when I was 42; our daughter was 15 and our son 11. We were ecstatic. Today, we celebrate every day the joys of being a 63-year-old mother and 64-year-old father.

Having a baby with older brothers and sisters is great. Think of all the attention this little person gets and how wonderful it is for a whole family to focus on this child’s development. Early on, we were privileged to have built-in baby-sitters in our two older children. (We paid them.)

Would I trade for cruises in the Caribbean or Alaska, golf on the Big Island, genealogical research at the Smithsonian? No way.
