I am 45 years old. I have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Yes she was a suprise at my age but a blessing. I also have a 22 year old, 19 year old and 18 year old. All from the same dad too. I am having a hard time finding other older mothers that I can relate to. I am old enough to be some of these other toddlers mothers mom!! I dont have anything against being with them but I find that I am at such a different stage in my life but still need the connections with other mothers so my baby has friends to be with. I was wondering if there are any other older mothers out there that would like to get together or if there are any groups for us "old farts" tee hee.
I am a 35 year old (no spring chicken myself) SAHM of an almost 3 year old boy and a 7 month old boy. I have a couple friends with younger children (boys and girls) and we range in age from early to late thirties. We try to do lunch at a playland a couple times a week and always welcome newcomers. If you and your daughter would like to join us on our next outing send me your email adddress.
Hi....I am newly 40 with a 2 year old son...I didn't get married until I was almost 37 so not only am I older, but I do not have the experience that many women my age have with kids.
One thing that you may really like is "Motherhood Later than Sooner"...I found a local chapter in my area and I love it....you can even start a chapter in your area if there is none.

It is extremely common these days to have kids later in life...I don't find the age gap to be a huge issue (although I find myself secretly jealous at times as I never had what they had at a young age -I was working in a career I did not like and going through relationship after relationship -ugh). What I find to be hard is my lack of identity now -I am staying at home (not working) -abandoned a 16 year corporate America career....my husband travels too much and there was no way we could juggle us both working.
I am here if you ever need support...
You should check out www.momsclub.org In my chapter, there are a lot of "older" moms with younger kids. www.mops.org is another great group for moms.
Hi C.,
I am 43 with a 9 year old. I live in Park City, Utah and find the same thing. Email if you live near by at ____@____.com.
Hi I am also a SAHM-aged 43 with a 3 yr old-I also have a 25 yr old who is married and sfe has a 6 month old, 2- 23 yr olds, an 18 yr old and with my DH we have a almost 10 yr old and our diva 3 yr old! I understand what you mean about most of the moms you could be there mom-I have that problem alot also-most of them do not understand what it is like to be a seasoned parent and to then also be dealing with potty training for the 5 or 6th time-each time is different and so you need support with each stage still even though you have been through it before. Where in the Valley are ya? I am out west! e-mail me if you are close- ____@____.com
