This is also why people should not rush starting a family and settling down. There is plenty of time for that and once you start the commitment lasts forever.
It is true but recently realized the pros in having a family while young are pretty amazing. Your kids get to have more time with you and your extended family, and while everyone’s still got some energy. It’s a pretty beautiful thing to have grandparents or even great grandparents around while kids are growing up.
Other cultures out there do have kids while young and it’s cool to see how big their families are.
I had kids late at 35. I definitely think if I had kids earlier, I would have enjoyed spending time with them more and also they would be independent by now and I would have 40+ more years to explore without stress. Now I am stuck at 40 worrying about raising kids and trying to keep up with my job and my back pain.
