I look young, but even knowing my age people tell me I'm young (or make loud comments to friends) or seem surprised I'm married and have been for years pre-DS. I'm 26, that's a great age for a baby! Just cos you're in your 40s and have a baby doesn't make me a worse parent - different, yes, but there's no value judgement on different!

Actually, I have issue with UK law that having a baby and going to war is legal when alcohol, marriage without parental consent and voting is illegal - but that's just me. I would certainly lower the voting age!
