    I apologize if I'm out of bounds, but did you wish your dad was younger when you were growing up?

    My dad was 40 when I was born.

    I've heard that women who get pregnant after a certain age (35-40 I think) increase the risk of the baby's health at birth.

    But I don't think there is a clear cut answer. Everybody takes care of their body differently.

    This is true. My cousin was born in 1986 when my aunt was 36 and his dad was ~40-ish. Yes, the doctors told them of possible age-related complications, so they kept an extra eye on my aunt.

    My cousin is 22 and graduating from USC in 2 weeks. He's the first of my group of first cousins to finish college on time. His grades are stellar, too. He's going somewhere for law; Univ. of Colorado, I think.

    Another advantage for my aunt is that, as the youngest of her siblings, she got to see first-hand what f**k-ups the rest of her siblings were as parents, and how that subsequently affected me and my other cousins.

    I have issues.

    Another reason why it's great to be a guy. The unit can function into your 70s-80s.

    My dad was 42 when I was born, worked good.

    I'm 21, the girl is 23-- two kids and one more sometime in the next 3 years.

    Kids are good but understand the responsibilities.. a lot of $$, a lot of supervision, most importantly a lot of cockblocking .. A LOT and while it sucks it's good to know your not the only one frustrated :(


    luckily me and the girl aren't material people and would rather get something we need instead of something we just want

    I not trying to have any kids till I'm 27 at earliest. Way too many people I know my age or younger are having kids. IMO 30 is the ideal age. Work some years, get your income up and debt(if any) paid off. I wanna get myself established before I want any parts of kids.

    I'm 24. My mom had me at 32.

    What a phenomenal idea.

    I mean, we'd have to become a totalitarian state, but imagine if you could enforce such a thing.

    You could make people pass a difficult "adult homo sapiens" test, kind of like a driving test, and only the top 25% of 21-26 year olds would receive the permit to have kids. And so forth.

    You would have a douche-free society in just a few generations.

    You definitely are not out of bounds. Valid question.

    Sometimes I did but I had a great childhood and wouldn't change anything. We did a lot of fun things together when I was young. He was very much a father to me. His health was great. If my father had been slowed down by his age, things would have been different. He was very active and on the go until the last moment of his life. I was very fortunate. :)
