re: #93 Eclectic Cyborg
We know couple like that too. They tell us they are trying, then about six weeks or so later, “We’re pregnant! Yay!”.
Drives me crazy sometimes but overall I see plenty of benefits in having kids a bit later in life. One of my best friends didn’t become a father until 34 and…three of the guys on my team at work didn’t have kids until their 30s (or in one case their 40s).
I can say from experience that being the parent of an infant at 40 is much easier than it was at 29. I’m much calmer and laid back than I was back then.
Although I’m not looking forward to dealing with a teenager in my 50s.
