My ideal life at 50

At 50, I would still be very youthful, vibrant, and content with my life. I would have a caring husband and four well adjusted, healthy kids. Hopefully two of them would be in college by this time. I don't want to have little elementary school kids at this age, it's better if menopause and their angsty years don't coincide! The schedule would be everyone at school/work during the day, and in the evening i would make dinner, talk to the kids, and do house errands. Or perhaps i'd be efficient and set one day aside. I'm not sure if my in-laws live with us in this picture; if they do, we need a bigger house. Hopefully my job would have some 'giving back' aspect to it. In the summers...well i want to marry a fob..so we could take trips to Pakistan lol...but probably we would go to weddings.

At 40, my kids would be in elementary or junior high. Because if they're in high school, i'd have to make a kid now. :P When they are more independent, I can devote more time to the community. Perhaps I'd have a part-time nanny from Pakistan, so my kids can learn Urdu from her, and also I could get a break to shop, go to gym, etc.

an example schedule:

26-30 schooling/travel/make friends/learn skills
age 29.0 expecting #1
age 29.9 baby
30.9 baby #1 is 12 months old. expecting #2
31.6 baby #2 born, baby 1 is 21 months old
32.6 baby #1 is 2 years 9 months, and baby #2 is 1.
33.9 baby #1 is 4 years old. Can start preschool. baby #2 is 2 years 3 mo old.
35.9 baby #1 is 6 years old. Can start preschool. baby #2 is 4 years 3 mo old (both are in school)

so if i want to be SAHM with kids until they start school, i would have to be SAHM for 6 years. EEkk...total career killer...then i'd have to be SAHM for the rest of my life...which is dumb because i will have nothing to do but wait for kids to come home.

added: i found out if i live in dubai, school starts from "KG-1" meaning Age 3. And they have Pakistani schools too. So at age 34.6, I could send both kids to school, so I would only have to stay home for 4 years 9 months.

Hmm...still a pretty big gap. And then if I want two more kids, I would have to stay home even longer. Those early years are so important, i definitely want to stay home, but i wish those few years of dedication didn't mean a whole lifetime of career dead. hmm...thinking..
