Wink What do you think the differences will be?

You are in your twenties right now. You might have a child or even two. What do you think, for you, the differences would be if you started your family lets say in your forties? Compare them and give us your opinions.

I think the biggest thing is that we would be close to or in our 60s when the kids were going off to college. My mum was 36 when I was born (I'm the youngest of 3.. my brother and sister are almost 9 and 7 years older than me respectively) and she is closer in age to some of my friends' grandparents than to their parents. Not to mention how old we would be when/if we had grandkids. I wouldn't want to be in my 70s and trying to run around after little kids.

family can hardly start at 40s.
because your reproductory system fails or weakens.
so i guess the best time is at 30s.
we were 21 and 23 when we had our baby.
and we didnt get time to enjoy life .
so after enjoying the life one should think about a baby.
