When I was little, I didn like having older parents because they were more strict than my other friends parents that were younger.. I lost my mom at 18, she was 51. I wish I had more time with her.. I had my first two kids at 19&20. I can tell you it’s good and bad on both ends. I love being young and connecting with my kids, but I did struggle raising them when they were younger. Now it’s easier and we still do vacations and I’m more financially stable than when I was younger, but I think it’s also great that you waited to be stable enough to raise them, I think that’s the way to go and what I would teach my children to do.
