had my first at 36 and the second a couple of years later.
my parents were very young when they had us, a little too young maybe. they split when i was ten yrs.
my wife is ten years younger than me. i love my family.
we started out living in a flat. it was my bachelor pad.
we could have had a child back then but it wasn't to be. we simply weren't 'ready'.

Best of both worlds - old enough to have lived, young enough to still crawl around on hands and knees playing horses!!

An interesting reply which hit the proverbial nail right on the head! In replying to this post , I actually set myself up to take all the sticks and stones that would be thrown at me. Apart from joe-90's mild remark about the kids mates and teachers calling me grandad it just hasn't happened. Still, it's early in the day.
It's mid afternoon now, grandad.
re: kids. I don't see the point myself, let the other fools overpopulate the world. I like having money in the bank, and lie-ins.

I look forward to lie-ins with the grand children bringing me my breakfast in bed which I eat as they are mowing the lawn and cleaning the house.

With the money saved from not having kids I can afford a sexy Spanish housemaid to do the cleaning and sort out my *AHEM* 'breakfast in bed'.
The garden? I just fly in Titchmarsh once a fortnight.

My earliest recollection of "Grandad" was somebody who came round and fixed stuff. (He was a shipyard joiner.) Whenever a door was sticky or a shelf was in imminent danger of falling off the wall I heard the familiar story, "Don't worry. Your Grandad will fix it".
On one occasion the doorbell broke. (It was an old clockwork one.) He came to fix it. He rang the bell - and rang - and rang - but nobody answered the door! I can see my own future already. Ring, ring! Arrgghhh! Why does the phone always go when you're in the bath or, worse, half way up the bedpost?
"Dad, the washing machine won't empty / computer's crashed / bike wheel's buckled / lights won't work / door won't open / shelf's fallen down / bell doesn't ring" ---- Breakfast in bed? I'll be lucky if I get any breakfast at all!
