I’ve got 9 kids - 3 are adults now, which leaves 6 who are not. And my youngest is currently 6 so I know the young mom struggle, too.
In fact, I’ve been a mom with a young one for more than 23 years now. I guess that makes me young.

But since I’m turning 50 in a couple months I’m certainly a mid-life mom.

And with one who has already left the nest, one who is currently traveling overseas, one who is starting working in his actual career, my role as a mom to these older ones sure is different from being a mom to them when they were younger.

In fact I found it so surprising just how hard it is for us moms when our kids start needing us less. And this happens long before they ever actually leave the nest.

So, moms over 40 and moms over 50, this one’s for you!
