I think I'm close in age to many of you with younger kids (I'm 42) but I can't have kids and when I married a man 10 years older than me, I gained three stepchildren. I'm actually closer in age to my eldest stepson than I am to my husband:
Jay - 33
Michael - 29
Veronica - 22
Veronica is living with us right now, for the gap between her December graduation from Baylor and her September start of grad school.
I'm a newly-minted grandmother; when Jay married in March, he became stepfather and I became Amma to two awesome little dudes, ages 6 and 8.
Work-wise, I had to give up my career 6.5 years ago because of health issues (chronic treatment-resistant daily migraines, CFIDS, and FMS) so I guess you could say I'm a housewife. I miss working SO much, and I pray I'm able to get back to it someday. I was a Product Manager for the B2B eBusiness suite of tools for a major HVAC manufacturer; I bridged the gap between Sales & Marketing and the IT team.
