I had my daughter at 21. I was married and we had our own home etc. Now, she is 25 and my son 23. I am still relatively young, and they have both left home living their own lives. However, if I could turn back the clock , I would have left marriage, kids etc until later on. At the end of the day, I wish that I had been like my daughter is now, travelling overseas and enjoying her life as a single woman with no ties. You can never reclaim your life as a single person, because once you have a baby, your life becomes theirs! Wait, wait , wait.
