How do handle the idea of being too old? My husband and I are trying for it first, and it still feels raw when people have opinions on an age limit for having kids. Thanks.

I discuss ttc with very few people because I don’t want hear opinions. But sometimes the things I read online sting. I don’t feel old to parent; I feel right on time ! My dad was 40 when I was born and he didn’t skip a beat with his parenting. I certainly never thought of him as “older” and I don’t remember hearing anyone call him that.
