[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shit yeah.  
If I had kids earlier, they'd be done with college by now.  I might actually live long enough to see and help out with grandchildren if I had kids earlier.
If I had kids earlier, I might have been more able to help my aging parents instead of being literally the only one caring for pre-school/K small kids.[/quote]

Interesting perspective. I am in my early 40s with two kids in Pre-K and 1st. The only empty nesters I know who are my age either got knocked up in high school or college, and most dropped out; life was hard for them and for their kids. I wouldn't trade places with them. [/quote]

I know plenty of girls who finished college and got married pronto (Orthodox Jewish girls mostly).
I also had two female colleagues who had 2 under 30.  They were very focused, got their professional credentials as quickly as permitted which gave them a lot of workplace freedom. And no, they weren't Jewish. So I don't know who you are hanging out with but there are women out there who can make it work.[/quote]
