At some point we're too old to have biological children, yes, but my 72 year old father has been in a new relationship for about a year and they seem super happy together.

(Edited for clarity.)

40 isn't too old for kids. Plenty of people have kids at that age and they're doing just fine.

It's just more difficult when you're older.

[โ€“] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, that's true, but at that age you're financially more stable and have more patience than a 20y. We had our kids at about 30 and I think that's probably the best age for it.

Yeah I had my kids at 30 also. Definitely agree
