I'd be all over that. Perimenopause, menopause, the advisability of having a new baby at 40 ++, homeschooling grandchildren (there's some on the list, I seem to remember). Yet we have so many forums, you sure it wouldn't work as a thread somewhere?

I would love an older Mom's forum!
I had three kids in three years....I was 36, 37, and 39 when they were born. Now they are teenagers (well, one is almost a teen) and I'm pushing 51.... I'm tired. ![[:P cheesy, cheesy!]](https://amblesideonline.org/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif "[:P cheesy, cheesy!]")

Oh man! I hated that when I was pregnant at 40 with my last bio baby! I felt like I should be walking in with a cane, the way they treated me at the OB office.
Ironically, when I had breast cancer at 44, the oncology staff kept telling me how young and strong I was. It's all a matter of perspective. LOL

I am only 36 now, but with M.S. I have had to change the way I homeschool. If an aged mom forum gets started, can I be the baby in the group when I need encouragement and advice?

You should join the group for moms with health challenges. We just made it private, so that you all can feel freer to discuss there. Go to your UserCP, and look for Group Memberships....

We have a new Private Group for vintage mothers called 42 Moms (no one under 42 is really old, at least not from where I'm standing!) To request access, go to your UserCP, and in the left hand panel, click on Group Memberships and you should see it listed (if you don't, let me know -- it means I did something wrong!) and click "join this group."
If you don't see 42 Moms, look for Forty-two Moms.
