Do you wish you would have had kids sooner?
As the title states, do any of you that had kids when you were older (thinking mid 30s and up) wish you would have had them younger? I'm guess I'm asking generally. For me personally, I've always know that I wanted to be a dad and have a family and all of that. But, being early 30s and single, I also know that I'm waiting for the right person to start a family with. I'm ok with that, those types of things take time (especially when I'll admit that I don't go out and actually try to date/find dates). I'm a much better person and better off as an individual in so many ways that I don't regret where I'm at or how my timeline is playing out. But, I do acknowledge that having kids younger means you get to spend more time with them and also spend more time with any grandkids down the road. On the grandkids front, I'm the oldest in my family and really wish I could provide my parents with grandkids (they don't pressure me, they get it lol) because they'd be killer grandparents. Anyways, I guess I just am wondering if you wish you would have had them sooner solely to be able to spend more time with them and all of the things that come with that.
Update: I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has replied to this. I really appreciate all of your individual perspectives. This particular question/topic isn’t something that I think about or worry about from that angle, but just something that crosses my mind sometimes as I get older. As a man over 30 to the men over 30, thank you!
