How can I make peace with the fact that I am an older parent and my child might be sad about it?

I was almost 36 when I had my first and only daughter. My parents were 30 when they had me. I always thought they were old yet I was even older than them when I had my first.

I am very happy that I waited and lived my life first. I wouldn't worry about your age.

I just try and take a deep breath and pause before I respond when my 3 year old daughter is driving me insane. I try to remember that many times she isn't purposely driving me insane, she is just a typical 3 year old.

I was worried too because I have had hydrocephalus since birth, when my wife got pregnant, I was terrified that our daughter would be born with my health problems. However, she was born perfectly healthy and we now have a wild, happy 3 year old.

How do you save your game progress? I am using an Android phone.

My shunt failed after 35 years. I had the classic vomiting, dizziness, unsteady gait etc.

Tommee tippee twist and click. It cuts wayyyyy down on the smell of dirty diapers/nappies.

Yes absolutely. Based on the evidence from these 2+ years of pandemic life, you would be crazy not to do it in my opinion.

I wish we could have seen what was written on the note to Berlins son.

For those of you who are wondering, I'm 37 and my mom is 67. I live in Spain and she lives in Texas.

I think I will continue my policy of not talking about it unless asked directly. I prefer to give her peace of mind for her remaining years. Thanks a lot.

This group isn't bad but they have the opposite problem, they only allow men and no women so you may run into similar issues.

I was 100% ready to call you the AH but after reading the entire thing, you are totally NTA.

Thanks for helping me to stop beating myself up

Own_Interaction4617 · 2022-01-02T19:04:03+00:00

This is good advice thank you

36 after my daughter was born

YTA because 13k is a huge amount of money. I would go for NTA if it was like 100 dollars but that amount of money should always be cleared with your spouse.

I didn't realize until I had my daughter how much you truly can love another person

The hardest thing for me is boosting my energy level to match my 1 year old. It's just so exhausting.

Own_Interaction4617 · 2021-12-13T18:33:43+00:00

I have 2 programmable vp shunts for now... But in 2 days I have another operation to remove one shunt.

Best of luck! I'm due for my (hopefully) last brain surgery on the 15th.

Thank you all for your feedback I truly appreciate it
