[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure. My kids are 4 years apart, though. The bigger age gap is awesome for us. I've gotten to really enjoy/focus on each one''s babyhood, and when I get babied-out with the little one, I can spend big-kid time with the big one.

I had the first at 33 and second at 37, so I had age somewhat on my side...I didn't feel desperate to have the second. Also, I wasn't sure I wanted a second for a long time...not until after the first turned 3. [/quote]

I would have felt so old having my first kid at 33.[/quote]

Is your peer group fairly uneducated? Not one of my friends had a baby before 30 due to advanced degrees and careers.[/quote]

+1.  [/quote]

I have a law degree and am a practicing lawyer. Ivy-educated. First kid at 29, third (and last) at 33. Sorry to disappoint.[/quote]

I think a lot depends on when you meet a partner and get married. My friends who got married at 26 or 27 had kids at 29 or 30. Those who, like me, got married at 29 or 30 had kids around 33 or not at all. I married at 29, switched jobs 6 months later, then had mine at 33 and 36. Sister married at 30, had kids at 32 and 35. Etc.
