One more thing to toss into the mix here: My wife (52) and I (49) just finished moving our youngest (20) into her latest college apartment. It about killed us, physically. Previous generations, methinks, knew something we’ve lost…that the raw physical stamina one has in one’s earlier years, the twenties and thirties, is THE most important success factor in raising kids. I see these parents today, in their late thirties/early forties, with barely kindergarten-aged kids, and I wonder if they realize how much less physically capable they’re going to in 12-14 years — right when their kids hit college…
HAVE KIDS EARLIER! You’ll be glad you did!
