Do you agree that people who don’t have kids at age 35 and above are miserable? How long will these people keep playing games, living hedonistic lifestyles, and acting like they’re in their 20s?
There’s nothing whatsoever wrong with being a latebloomer?
My paternal grandfather was considerably older than my paternal grandmother. He was a stern and serious man who worked hard and ran an electronics company. When he was in his early forties, he married a much younger and very attractive woman. They had several children, the second of whom was my father. And no, my grandfather wasn’t hedonistic at all.
A lot of people who marry later in life are driven, passionate and ambitious people. They have big dreams, and they want to make major bank first before tying the knot. This is especially true for childless men, who are not really prevented by biology from having children at a later point in life. Al Pacino is one of the world’s most accomplished actors and did not have his first child until he was 49. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brad Pitt both had their first child after the age of forty. Each of these men were highly accomplished at that point in their professional lives…
I had my first child at 22. And I am under no illusion whatsoever that I am somehow a better father to her because I was young when I hd her… in fact, chances are I would have been a more wholesome, stable and successful influence had I been 42 when she was born. I also wasn’t prevented from being “miserable” at times in my life just because I had kids early.
