Down with the kids.
I can relate a lot. I'm just 32 and so much has changed just in my adult life.
And about the kids, we have one 5 and one 2. My wife was just telling me last night that she's probably the older parent among our eldests class mates. She just turned 31 last month!

It is weird, the kids thing
To me, it just makes sense that you'd wait until you were a bit older and had a bit more life experience and money, but so many people have kids in their teens/early twenties, and I really do find it quite unnerving when people my age have teenage kids, but my lifestyle hasn't changed significantly since I was 21.

Trouble is
You just don't have the energy to keep up with toddlers at my age.

I'd say the later the better.
I'm 45 and I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old.

I can't imagine what a fucking disaster I'd have been as a parent in my 20s. I could barely look after myself.

Having the 8 year old is great. I know everyhting that's in the charts now, I even like one or two of them.

The 2 year old is hard work though, I have to say.

I was a nanny in my late teens/early 20s
I'll be 35 very soon, and if I had to keep up with three kids under the age of 8 every day now like I did then, I'd probably be dead from exhaustion.
