    I very much wish I had waited. I was 24 when I got pregnant with DS. I had been married for nearly a year. I feel like I have missed any opportunity to travel and to have a career. I know we can travel with kids or when they have left home, but travelling in your 50's isn't the same as travelling in your 20's and doesn't give you the life experience to share with your kids itms.

    I will be advising my children to get out and experience the world before they get stuck at home with kids.

    I'm one of the younger parents in my children's classes N2L so perhaps that depends on where you live. I used to be amazed by how youthful some of the Mums were but then I realised they were the nannies lol.
    I imagine that if I still lived in the suburb where DS2 was born that I would have been one of the older Mums.

    Or maybe I just look younger? Either that or I am delusional

    I think it's all three. You do look youthful but you're probably younger too and possibly delusional

    Some of the parents at our school are in their 50's.
