I think it's individual. I'm more patient, more interested in parenting. I don't worry about my career or what other people thought when I quit my tenure-tracked teaching job for dd-I'd never have done that at, say 30. I was too driven.
I may not be as flexible as I was (the knees just don't like the twice a day kneeling next to the tub), but I'm still active at 44.
anyway, I'd say it's the fact that I'm ready to parent and I wasn't say 10 years ago. different priorities. not bad, just different.
