I''ve been trying to catch up on reading threads that touch upon this topic. I just posted a question in the new TTC thread but I thought afterwards to start a new thread. Why, exactly, is it better to have kids before 35? Why that age specifically? I just turned 34 today and my FI will be 36 in the spring. We''re getting married next summer and we''ve thought about having kids soon after. But we''re not 1000% sure. I''m a teacher and I''m around my little kids at school all day. I like having a spearate life after I come home and on the weekends. On the other hand, would not having kids make me really sad? I know this is something only my FI and I can answer but I''d like to hear what others think. Neither my FI nor I believe that we were put on this earth for the purpose of becoming parents someday. We''ve thought, if it happens, great, but if not, that''s okay too. I feel like we need to hurry up and decide within the next year or so but WHY?
