I never thought I would be mom. Then, in the age of 42, my partner and I’m glad – and shocked – to find my pregnant. Now, I have a 13-year-old daughter at the age of 55. Although I have an initial unpreparation, I realized that being a parent in life makes me better.
Should enjoy the young life and still enjoyed being a parent
I do not say that all parents have their children who have lost their children in their young age, but I know who I know – and I could be one of them. I have to have my daughter when I’m 40 years old, I mean I don’t hurt my daughter.
I was the structure editor of a fun magazine in 24. If I had a son, can I take all the innumerable Nigers I do so much, or can I take part in all the gigs and events we cover? It is impossible.
I was 20 years old, but I was ready for a new adventure when I was tedious and 40 years old. More importantly, I was more reliable than who I am. If this is young and “I try to prove I can be the perfect mother, I probably meant I didn’t sweat all the little things.
Instead, as a mother of 40, as a mother, I learned that a mixed house can still be happy. The mud was not a 3-year-old naughty – just carefree. Although my Christmas cookies appear more Edward Munch’s Shout Hell was more than the snowman, it was a better closing experience of cooking them with me and never to do Christmas cookies.
Another thing that surprised me as a middle-aged mother, said I was less sick when my daughter came out.
I heard the same mothers were the same and it seems that we are not alone. A few work I found that older mothers were less likely to shout or punish their children. As can be seen, the experience of life gives a wider perspective. Let’s be honest – part of this is just less energy!
Of course, I ignore bad behavior, but I know when I will be on the bad day of my daughter. Thus, I speak to him, and I have not patiently patient when I was young.
There is some trade to be an older parent
When I pre-pregnant, when we progressed in 50, a baby and then suggested how to manage a baby, then how to manage a baby, I was selfish or a financial or emotional burden on my daughter.
Several insomnia night, if I thought a few sleepless night, a great parent, shame and health obstacles to 20 people, an embarrassment and health hindrors. But this fear forced me to prioritize my health with good lifestyle habits, regular exercise and daily inspections.
Of course, this did not stop me from time to time for my child’s grandmother (my daughter) – but I still have lifecore my party in the 20s and 30s.
Again, I’m worried about aging. My 80-year-old mother has developed and when I need me; My daughter may not have the same experience.
At a broader level, I also mix to the uncertain future waiting for it. Although the climate crisis, AI and automated work rise and increase property costs, despite the fact that these difficulties are around to solve these difficulties, I am afraid to help these difficulties.
Again, despite this concern, I know I’m better like a old parent.
This is just my experience. I was not ready for the mother in my 20s or 30s, but I have a chance in my 40s. I have a great attitude with my daughter and lending my age as a big part of it.
In 55, many parents are waiting for an empty nest and can say that when they are young, I was there, I was there for the next chapter of this adventure with my daughter.
