Don’t hurry. And don’t listen to people you need to have kids in your twenties or early 30s or else you will be old and whatever.

Take your time, take all the time you need and if you arent 100% sure don’t have kids.

They cost a lot. A lot of money, a lot of nervs. They give a lot too, not questioning that.

People who are now 35 and getting kids will still be fit til age of 70+, not like people back then. Especially if you take care of yourself.

I dont have kids but I do hard climbs/ boulders with my dad. A year ago we were climbing in Krabi (Thailand) and did V6s+ (heavy boulders) and we did our Open Water Diver on Koh Tao - he is 71. When I was younger my grandpa was not even able to run, kept falling and had all kinds of problems that my father doesnt have. And he was maybe two years older than my father. My father said his dad (my grandpa) worked as an allrounder around construction and lifted heavy stuff but his body broke down a lot quicker in those years. They didnt have the machines we have now to avoid those things.

If I am his age (71) I assume I might be a lot fitter than he is, just cause of nutrition options and lifestyle nowadays. Yes there will be wear n and tear but you will still be able to play baseball with your children if you get kids at the age of 40 - because sixty is the new fourty. If you are 39 and get pregnant, you are 40 with your first child. Once you are 60, your child is 20 but you will feel like 40. So basically only 20 year gap.

Honestly I am actually glad my dad is older. He was able to experience so many different things in his 20s 30s that he teaches me to this day. Maybe stuff he wouldn’t have experienced if he had already made me before his 30s. He would have never discovered climbing in the Alps cause he would have never been able to afford the trip if I was born, so I wouldnt be climbing today.
