Having kids later in life changes how you think about time. Every milestone feels a little more precious because you know you might not have as many of them.
As societal norms shift, more people are delaying having children to focus on careers, education, and personal goals. The average age of mothers has steadily risen over the past few decades.
But the older I get, the more I start to question my mortality, and the reality sets in that I may never be a grandma.
I don't regret my choice; my son is the best thing that's ever happened to me. But it also means that by the time he's in the same place I was, I could be in my 70s or 80s - if lucky.
