That’s why I think people shouldn’t have kids until they have at least a couple of hundred years of life experience.

I realize that’s a joke, but we waited until our 30s to have a kid specifically so we could have life experience and more financial stability before taking on that responsibility. I think that’s the best way to do it. Being 46 with a 13-year-old is a lot easier than it would have been for me 13 years ago.

The other side of that is worth considering too. Being 46 with a 23 year old would be great.

People should have 10 years of experience with having a kid before they’re allowed to have a kid
