O.K. I know there might seem to be an obvious answer to this. But I was chatting to a retired lady yesterday and she was criticizing her DIL for having children late in life (don't think she realised how old I was ) and saying she had children in her early 20's and she had so much more energy.
I've always wondered though - how does this extra energy translate into how you are as a parent. I can't think what more I would do with my children if I had them younger. Perhaps I wouldn't feel tired at the end of the day, but does anyone with young children NOT feel tired.
Would love to hear views on this. Any young mums want to comment?
