Re: Older parents make better parents? Myth or Fact?
In my experience and from what I've seen, older parents have usually had more of a struggle to attain parenthood - whether that is due to fertility troubles or due to their personal goals of wanting careers and full lives before becoming parents. So they tend to cherish their children more. This can be good and it can be bad. The kids can tend to be over-protected and over-indulged if you arent careful. And the worst thing is that man you get so darn tired. When you're in your 20s, you have SO much energy. You need that with littles. So becoming a parent in your 20s - even if you take it all for granted and dont cherish it quite as much, you still have all this energy to do creative projects with your littles and dedicate all this energy to them and they surely respond to that. So either way it works out. It should just be the thing for you, the time for you.
If I had had my kids in my 20s, it would have been with my ex. And it would have been a total disaster. I'm so very thankful that I waited. My only regret is that it didnt happen till I was an older mom.
