    I'm 47 and my youngest is 11. Oldest 18.
    I'll never forget those crazy years with little ones. When I brought my last baby home from the hospital I had the new born, a 2 year old, a 4 year old and a 6 year old. Crazy wonderful days!
    Ask me anything!~

    I am 44 and have a 7 year old and a 9 year old. Taking time "off" from being a mom to hit the gym has been hard, but it is something I need to do! The challenge never ends, though - this is a vacation week for the kids, so I'm trying to fit workouts in around being home with them on my days off from work. My vacation weeks never coincide with theirs. :frown:

    Hi Christine,

    Good Topic! I always feel like the elderly Mom considering my youngest is almost 2 and I had her after 40! My 13 & 12 year olds kept me pretty busy and I was content with my body image until this last pregnancy. I finally resolved to commit the early hours of the morning to work out to DVD's or wii fit. (it's the only time I have to myself) I take walks during my lunch hour but it's not enough to get me where I want to be. Juggling marriage, motherhood and work is a challenge to say the least. This is a great site for wellbeing.

    Good luck on your journey :)

    Hmm, well I don't see any as old as me with as young a child mine. I am 51 and my youngest daughter is 6. I had her when I was 44yrs old. I also have a 16yr old daughter and a 23 yr old son. He has a 5 month old, my grandson. I am enjoying every minute of my youngest child...maybe because I am absolutely sure she's the last and I take nothing for granted. She is the reason I decided to make major health changes...I want to be around to see her grow up.

    Do I count??? I am 61 and my youngest child is 18.

    I would like to add that my oldest is 43. I actually had to get out my calculator to figure out how old he is.

    My goodness, after reading all these replies from "older" women, I must be grandma! I'm 52 and have an 11-year-old. He's the light of our lives. It feels good to be healthy and active and able to keep up with him, in fact outdo him.
