[quote=Anonymous]My S/O and I traveled the world together, attended the best NYC parties, and stayed in shape. Finally, it occurred to me that if we didn't have a child soon, we never could. We got married. I wanted one in part for the wrong reasons. My father and grandfather had had a privileged upbringing, but my father had refused me the same privileges. We tried having a child, a daughter, but she died in the womb due to a genetic inversion on one of my chromosome 8s. DW was devastated so we tried again and had a son. We no longer travel overseas. We no longer party. DS is difficult because he has both ADHD and Asbergers. But he is very handsome and got a lot of modeling work before we left NYC for D.C.  He is a chess champion and travels all over the country entering tournaments. As far as how I feel, frankly, I had a son too late. I have health problems now and am no where near being the father I could have been 20 years ago. It's a tough call. Do you spend your youth jet setting or have a child while young?
