I’ve been doing some thinking lately, which is rarely a good thing for me, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I want to have kids. Maybe. Possibly. Ok, I’m still struggling with the idea quite a bit. I’ve never been the kind of person that likes kids, any of them. Can’t stand ‘em. But, nonetheless, I’ve been having those biological urges, and my position on them has softened lately.
The issue is, I’m currently 37, and there’s a good chance that I’d be over 40 by the time I actually have kids. I feel like I’m almost too old to have kids from the perspective of keeping up with them and being involved in their lives. The kids with old parents in high school were always weird kids, or in a lot of trouble cuz their parents were too old to be bothered with actually parenting them.
Can anyone that’s had kids later in life break things down for me and give me some perspective to help me work out this dilemma?
