How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Mid 30s

That's not old, my man. Many of us are having kids in our 40s.

I'm one right here. Tired? Sure, but they fill our lives. This was 100% the right decision for us, but everyone has their own set of goals

perfectly ok in that range, it starts to get unsafe for the mother after 40 tho

I don't know about this commenter, but don't forget that everyone is different.

Hypothetically, you might be good having kids in you thirties, but one or both of them might have a condition or disability that gets worse with time.

I know people in their early 20s with bad arthritis, and a lot of people want to be able to chase after and run around with their kids. Sometimes chronic pain/illness can remove that option.

Oh for sure, I dont think everyone should or can be parents. Im just saying its not necessarily a death knell for parenthood in that age range
