[quote=Anonymous]I can actually answer this bc H had 3 kids at 22, 32, and 42 (only the last one was with me) and we’ve talked about it.

22 - the upsides are that he had a TON of energy still and since both him and his family were young, he had a ton of help. Downsides are it didn’t work out with his ex because they were 22 and behaving, well, like 22 year olds (partying, cheating, etc).

42 - Upsides are that he had partying/youth fully out of his system so has been fully devoted to our DC. Also makes good money now. Enjoys being a father more now than at 22 and is much more patient. Downside is he’s pretty tired most of the time, even one night of sleep deprivation messes him up.

32 - Probably the worst of the 3. Still wasn’t making decent money, still wanted to act single (not 100% but did want to still party a bit), but old enough to start feeling the impacts of sleep deprivation and age.

So overall I’d say the best are at either extreme, either when you’re young enough to handle it, or old enough you can provide more stability. [/quote]
