| 620723 | 2007-12-13 09:03:00 | ... Nevertheless we all mature at different rates. I know that I would not have been a good parent in my 20s. Too keen to party, too selfish, not much money - it would have been frustrating....For me it was tolerance. I couldn't stand having someone around me all the time. Was pretty much the type who kept the friends list to a bare minimum and maybe went to see them when I wanted to be sociable (which wasn't often) |

| 620725 | 2007-12-13 22:55:00 | lol Well my brothers 41, married with 2 kids, but hopefully in time he will mature. :p Great post Winston001 thanks. :cool: Sounds like most think 30 plus is a great age to have kids, a few who think it could be slightly detrimental and 1 who think we ought to stop breeding altogether lol. |

| 620726 | 2007-12-14 07:19:00 | I wouldn't say it makes that much difference it just depends on the child. But I think an age gap of 12 years is nice as they learn how to look after a baby and should stop them from teen pregnancy as they learn right from the start. | aarathi (13049) | ||
| 620727 | 2007-12-14 13:46:00 | If you second child could be born 21, no more terrible twos , frightful 4s, attending boring school concerts that one has to do an Oscar Act feigning interest in the performance, no teens who know it bloody all. | KenESmith (6287) | ||
| 620728 | 2007-12-14 18:04:00 | There was a segment on TV tonight (might have been the TV3 news or Campbell Live) -- they have done studies which show that the older you are when having children the longer, in general, you live. Many centenarians have had children when they were pretty (relatively) old ! :illogical So there you go - who would have guessed ! and how serendipity that this thread should be running and also the segment on TV :D Misty :) Bugger!!!!. Lurks. Mods. hope that word is proper. lurks. |

| 620729 | 2007-12-14 21:28:00 | There was around 40 years between my mother's oldest and youngest brothers (my grandfather married twice and had 5 kids to his first wife, 3 to the second). My uncle John (10 years older than me) went through school with his nephew who was one year older than him and made life hell. They were in their 40s before they became friends. I think they finally settled their disputes because they were the only two family members who ended up in Canada. |
