Life didn't turn out how I expected, but that's OK. I've often wondered how life would be different if I'd had kids at a younger age.
I share a close bond with my son, and as a middle child from a large family, I know that can be harder when many kids are vying for attention.
Many claim that wisdom comes with age. I do feel wiser than my younger self in many ways. But the best part of aging is that I no longer care about the things I used to.
I had expected to have kids when I was younger, have more energy for them, and have lots of them.
