Key Points
My husband is 23 years older than I am.When we met, I fell in love quickly, but I also knew I wanted to have kids.We had two kids together, and sometimes I feel guilty they have an older dad...
When I was younger and I would see older men with infant children, I always thought it was selfish..
I didn't think it was fair to the child that their father was older and that as they grew up, they would have to adjust their expectations things like activities they'd be able to do together, how involved an "old" father could be in their lives, and of course, the potentially limited time they would have their father with them..
My husband is a wonderful father, but sometimes when I really stop and think about the facts, I feel guilty and sad...
I feel guilty knowing that maybe my husband can't be as energetic as the "young" dads my kids' peers are likely to have though to be fair, my husband has plenty of energy and is a "get on the floor and play" type of dad..
