    I am from the suburbs of NY and have been in Texas for 24 years. I haven’t had any of the problems you have had, but I have noticed people in the South tend to exaggerate the traits of Northern people, or make them up completely. We all tend to think the best of our own kind, and the worst of another type of person. I also think if you win a war, you let it go, but if you lose a war, you never get over it.( as in the civil war)

    I had triplets at 44. Most of the moms who have children who are my kids age are 10 years younger than me. 10 years means nothing to a child – I had more money and wisdom and time to give them than my younger counterparts. Do what you want; thatis why we are here. We aren’t living our lives to fulfill someone else’s expectations. I don’t think the ‘dying when your children are young’ argument is a good one.
