>>>IMO, children are for the young and stupid who have the energy and that certain naivete. I think one of the last things I’d have wanted is to attend my child’s high school graduation after just applying for medicare. But that is me.<<<
No argument there. My situation is not ideal, but I got divorced unwillingly. I found another woman a bit younger who was never married so the new baby. Otoh, he’s adorable and I shall enjoy this new direction my life has taken me.
My comment wasn’t specifically against you. I just started thinking about my age and what could have been. I ended up with a daughter at age 32 and it was about all I could handle when she turned 18.....oh, the sleepless nights.
Regardless, I wish you the best of luck, and even if you don’t have the stamina, I am sure your younger wife will :0)
