'I’ve been asked if I wish I had 'started sooner,' which is strange and, frankly, a little insulting.'
— not by a long shot. But after moving from a big city, where older moms were the norm, to a suburb full of younger moms, my age now feels like less of the afterthought it once was.
I didn’t plan to be an older mom. When I played with dolls as a child, my Barbie didn’t tell Ken that she wouldn’t be ready to even consider getting pregnant until she was at least 35 years old. It’s just how my life unfolded: I didn’t have my son until I was 41. Age shouldn’t preclude any of us from becoming friends, though it has on occasion for me. When I’ve shared my age, some people have been visibly shocked and began to treat me differently. I somehow became less of a peer and more like I was their high school biology teacher they’d just run into at the grocery store. Maybe they assume my interests include eating dinner at 4:00 p.m. or reading the latest issue of the. Regardless, they don’t give me a chance.
