[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 had mine later in life but I know many college graduates who had their kids in their 20s and have had really great lives. Still married, empty nesters, quite happy. Their kids are happy. [/quote]

You know lots of 41-year-old happily married empty nesters who are also college graduates and whose kids have graduated college too? BS.[/quote]
Are you math-challenged? Someone who had kids at 22/23/24/25 will be an empty-nester in their early forties.[/quote]

Go back and reread the post. It was about getting knocked up in high school or college and dropping out to raise kids. If you think 25 is high school aged then perhaps you are still getting your GED?[/quote]
