I became a Dad at 24 and enjoy the fact at 49 my two children are now adults. Every stage of parenthood is special. One of the best stages is your son/daughter taking you out to dinner. It's not about the money. It's about enjoying the company of someone you love in the knowledge you are more than their provider.<p>I'm 50 soon and material things are becoming less important. I"d recommend everyone invest in family. My own upbringing was a bit messed up. So I have seen both sides of the fence.
I'm confused by the headline. "I'm not sorry I didn't wait". I mean, I believe I know what it's supposed to mean, that the author is glad she's a mother at age 25, but I don't see how I can transform the headline into that.
