My mom had me when she was 32, and I'm an only child. I'm 32 now and don't have kids, but I have two cats that my mom calls grandcats. ADMy mom gave birth to her only child at 32, and my grandma had my mom, the last of her seven children, at 32. As an only child, I'm confronting pressure to bring a child into our increasingly thorny world. My parents are the main reason I feel guilty for not having my own child.
