    If you got em of course. And would you have done it earlier or later? Just, err, out of interest.

    27 for the first…then another 3 years later. Probably would have benefited from being a bit older…actually probably would have been better not to have been 5 weeks after moving to rural France, coming in to Winter and with no habitable house.

    Initially I didn’t want them either because of the loss of freedom etc…

    But there is a plus side.

    Still freaks me out that people younger than me have had kids. I still see myself as one. Even with a balding pate, beard and encroaching gut.

    27 and 31 – wouldn’t have had them at any other age 😀

    34 and gutted. Would have probably had one now by now if it wasn’t for the bi-polar incident which ended with the wife moving Australia. Alone.

    Might never happen now and that makes me 🙁

    I was 26 when my daughter was born and although initially the realities of fatherhood were a shock I love her to bits and she has grown into a proper little character of her own.


    In her favorite city.

    28 and 30 – if anything would have had them earlier – did lots when I was younger but also relish of doing stuff with them as they grow.

    32, 35, 37, Snip! Timing worked out quite neatly, I got made redundant couple of months before number one arrived and turned part time freelancer.

    43 + 45.

    Pluses and minuses- minuses being that for the first couple of years it probably takes more out of you than it does if you’re twenty years younger. I think just about everything else is a plus.

    Of course, that’s just imho.

    my mrs was 36 when she met me.

    It’s not the age, it’s the wife. Still love her and would have loved to have had a couple of kids with her.

    Making me feel a bit better about my slight concern at being almost 42 when our first two (twins) turn up in June.

    I bally-well can’t wait.
