Now women are part of the elderly parent set. My parents were young - not as young as yours - but they were so busy working I really don't think they did a lot with us. It was a different era, kids played with other kids. Nowadays, though, parents do more driving to sports clubs than actually playing in the yard. And, whether you're 18 or 58, driving a mini van takes no great skill...parking it on the other hand, that's a problem for everyone.

I'm already worried that I won't be able to do a lot of things with my kids that my parents did with me and I'm only 31. Then again my parents were 18 and 16 when I was born so I'm pretty used to extemely young parents. I had one friend whose dad was 60 when we were in late grade school. They barely talked to each other. That's the image that always pops into my head when I think of older people having babies. I would not want to have a kid that old.
