My sister and I were talking about an article she read in which the author said that unlike what many of us have been told the golden years are (after you retire and your children are grown) the real golden years are when you are a new parent and are watching your babies and toddlers grow up.
I think the author was saying that early parenthood is a better time compared when you're retired, because you're still young enough to enjoy your time with your children, you theoretically have more money since you're likely to still be working and you're doing things together as a family. Having never experienced what it's like to be a retired person, I can't really compare. But what I can say is that there are many moments I had as a child with my parents and sister, and there are already times I've had with Helen and Kailyn in which I've thought to myself, "These are the times we will remember when we are older."
