What is it like parenting a young child later in life?
You know, at this stage in life, she's changed my life completely for the better. I grew up in the '50s. And life is different now. For kids, it's all about electronics. I wish she could see a lifestyle like I had when I was young.
You have adult kids. How is it different the second time around?
I'm more overprotective now! Of course, there's still diapers, and the crankiness and the terrible twos. But I think she's a wonderful baby. She's a joy.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
