heh...I am 40 (and my wife is 39), so no more for us.
I always thought I would have kids. Then I met my wife and she was opposed to having kids. Well, I loved her, so I married he knowing that kid's weren't in "the plan". Well there was another plan, and we ended up having one son. He is turning 14 tomorrow. He is a smart and funny kid, and is a boy so is naturally disorganized and a spazz, and forgets to turn in perfectly good and completed homework. I would say that having a kid is one of the coolest things ever. Every stage of their lives is just great. If you know the love and the bonds of family, then you understand a little bit about what it is about. It's not really a thing with specific pros and cons. Benefits you line up and evaluate. It's a family thing, and it is the most special thing in existence on Earth IMO. That's not a logical conclusion. It's an experiential truth in my life, and in many people's lives. If you're weighing your future options and deciding between your own comfort and pleasure, and having a kid, then maybe don't have a kid. I think that is an unfortunate thing and a potentially less fulfilling life, but you don't want to have a kid and be resentful of the poor thing. It would know, and would probably be unhappy.
