Or not! Not everyone can have or will have kids. Your life can be awesome without marriage. Your marriage can be awesome without kids.

Finally some real advice. Go out, meet people, fall in love. I had my first child at 30. Would have been a lot easier at 25

>Would have been a lot easier at 25

What do you mean?

Kids are hard and time is cruel. My oldest will remember his grandparents, my youngest will barely remember his grandmother as an old lady who couldn’t talk right. Where my wife bounced back from the first child, it was a lot harder seven years later with the second.

Just having the energy and stamina to keep up with your kids is hard, gets harder as your body slows down, and gets really hard when your parents get older and have their own health problems. My mother-in-law went from being able watch the kids when we needed to, to no longer being able to drive because of a stroke and needing to be taken to therapy three times a week.

Sounds like none of it would've been a problem if you hadn't had kids? Were your 20s, without kids, not better than your 30s with kids but with all these self-imposed problems?

IF you are going to have kids, having them younger is better is my point. Are kids worth the trouble? - that is for you to decide.

Understood Thanks

True. Having children is the most meaningful thing anyone can do in their life.
