[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the better question is would you rather be kid free from 25-35 or 45-55

In isolation of course only being 48 when you’re kid free sounds better than 60. But unless you have very spread out kids, it of course comes with a trade off of your younger years![/quote]

I had my first kid when I was 31 and my husband was 35. We were both very excited to be parents. I don’t have many Peter Pan friends who needed to endlessly live out bottomless brunches/bad dates/sad girls trips.[/quote]

Hi Brunch granny![/quote]

I think you missed the point. We were both well adjusted enough in our 30s to not want to be Peter Pans. In our 50s we also have no desire to be Peter Pans. I’m going to be 61 when my oldest is 30 (the age that I got married) and 62 when she turns 31 (the age that I had her). I have no idea what life holds for us but if my kids end up having children in their early 30s like me I’m so exited about getting to be an active and involved grandparent. [/quote]

Hopefully no sad girls trips in your future.[/quote]

Girl's trips are only sad when you're under 30. After 50, girls trips are a fun, exciting part of being empty nesters. [/quote]
