Oh boy do I agree with this one. Becoming a first time Mom at 37, I was so ready to give up all my long carefree days and have some responsibility and someone to take care of, someone that needed me.

I feel as if I lost nothing and I can enjoy every ounce of these children without feeling as if I am missing out on something.

Great post Bug&Bearsmommy
