[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were married at 25 (both), and had our first child at 27 (at which time DH and I had been working almost three years).  We had our second child at age 30, a third followed at 33, and our last arrived when we were 35.

DH's career advanced to the next level and then some, and he has been very successful professionally.  I became part time by age 32, and left the position by age 33 to stay at home with the children.

We are now 45, and our oldest heads off to college this fall.[/quote]

This is our very same trajectory too, PP - down to the ages and # of kids!   :-) [/quote]

Wow, what a coincidence, thanks for sharing that.  We have started to feel decidedly middle-aged now that our oldest is almost finished with senior year of high school.[/quote]

I'm 43 with a 21 and 18yr old.  I wish I would've waited until 30/31 to have kids but now I'm ok with our decision.  My parents are both deceased and my kids got to know them. 
I think kids should come before careers as far as importance because jobs/careers come and go.[/quote]
