Hello!

I am just looking to connect with other "older" moms like myself. I am almost 45 and have 6 children: 24, 17, 15, almost 11, 6 and an almost 3 year old. Would love to discuss issues that are specific to older moms with young kids. Looking forward to forming new friendships!

So What Happened?

Wow! I got so many lovely responses! Thank you all. Now I'll have to figure out how to get everyone together, at least in an online forum. Any suggestions or advice? This is such a great board!

I too am an "older" mom now. I am 44 with a almost 5 year old daughter AND 3 more; 26 & 21 year old daughters, 16 year old son. I live in San Jose. It's nice to know there are others and would be happy to meet or just talk.

Hi G.!
I will be 45 on the 18th and I have a boy that will be 4 in February. I think getting together with older moms is a great idea!

Hey G. -- I'm just jealous that you have time to form new frienships -- good for you! I'm turning 50 in two weeks, and have a 6 year old daughter and a 16 year old son -- but as a single mom (not by choice) and owner of my own business, I can barely find time to feed everyone! ;)

All the best,

J.

Hi G.,

I'm 43 with boy/girl twins who are 13.5 months old. There's nothing like waiting until mid-life to start a family. LOL! I would love to connect, too, with "older" moms with children.

Regards,
L.

Look at www.lasmadres.org... it's organized by birth year and region so yourr little one will have the same playmates now that they'll attend kindergarten with. Plus there are sub-groups for older MaMas if you want exclusive comraderie for yourself. In our '04 group we had plenty of MaMas over 40... you might find the same situation in the '06 group for your area.

Hi G.,

I'm not sure where you live, but I guess I would consider myself an "older" mom. I am 41(42 in May) and I have 3 children: 18, 7, and 4. I live in South San Jose and would enjoy meeting some new friends.

I am 45 in two weeks and have a 9 (Girl), 8 (girl), and 5 (boy) year old. Would love to connect. Email me back to get started. I live in South San Jose. It's funny you put this out there. All my friends with kids are 10 years younger than me. It will be nice to connect with someone my age.

Hi G.:

I am an older mom (50 in a few weeks) with a two and a half year old. I would love to connect with other older moms. I have been thinking of starting a mom's group where we would have babysitting for the kids as well. My nanny is willing to do the job. I thought of having a mom's support group and a play group as well with such a group.

Let me know what you might be interested in.

Thanks for sending your email. You beat me to reaching out to older moms. Thanks Much-
K.

I'm 48 with 5-year old twins. I have often thought about wouldn't it be great to start a group or at least meet up with other moms who are older to swap stories, info, support for the interesting path that is the older moms! Why not set up a time, date, and place (a park maybe?) for having a first time meet-up for anyone interested? Could be great!
