LucieP, Leeds, United Kingdom, 1 day ago I had my one and only child aged 20. No we didn¿t claim any benefits but god it was hard.

We are now in our earlyLoading... 40s and free to go anywhere and do anything. I wouldn¿t change a thing. Not that I¿m criticising older mums at all, my best friend had her first at 39 and is a wonderful parent.
