Geezer Moms Roll Call

Inspired by another thread - how many moms on here will be 60 before the kids are allowed to buy alcohol?

I'm one . . . .

Dads can participate too, if they want to . . . .

I'm 63, and my daughter is 13. She is most definitely not allowed to buy alcohol!

Me, too! Me, too!

Gotta say: I wouldn't have it any other way. I would have been a disaster of a mother if I became a mom in my 20s. I'm much more capable, together and with-it as a mom in my 40s.

I look at twenty-somethings becoming moms and think they're nuts. (Not that they are nuts, it's just that I my 20s and 30s were filled with experiences and life lessons that were best learned on my own...)

You know something.... I LOVE being a single, middle aged, first time mom.

On the topic of buying alcohol... friends of mine ask me to leave Liana with a babysitter from time to time so that we can go out for a drink. And you know what? I don't want to. Even in my 30's I had a restlessness. An urge to "go out." Now, there is nothing I look forward to more than a trip to the zoo or the Hall of Science or the Museum of Natural History on a Saturday. And we are both in our jammies by 7:30 on a Saturday night.

My oldest will be 7 in August and I am now 50, so yes I will be a granny mom. They keep us young. I too look forward to Saturday night with my boys.
