I had my son when I had just turned 32. We adopted our daughter when I had just turned 38. I can tell you that I had more energy at 32 than I do now. But then again, he was my first. I didn't have to pay attention to anybody else but him. He had my complete and utter attention.
I don't think it's so much an age issue now. It's more of the fact that I am a seasoned mom. The things I worried so much about with my son do not affect me with my daughter. He was the baby that I was a neurotic new mother with. LOL! Now with my daughter, I sit back and ENJOY!
I can say that being an "older mom" does have some benefits. I have SO much more patience than when I was in my twenties. I also have a very grounded marriage with my husband.
In addtion, we are financially stable. We have a house now. We basically did all the things we wanted to do before we had kids. Now the focus is on them...always...
