No doubt. I'm glad I had my 20s to roam around before getting kids, but I'm even more happy to still be young enough that I can travel the world and participate in physical activities with my kids as well. Having kids doesn't have to mean giving up on experiencing life. They're part of it, and they're the best people to share it with. In hindsight, I probably could have cut my party years short by five years without missing a thing. Having kids was the best thing in my life. It might not be for everybody.

I'm in the late 40s now, and I feel it's too late to have more by now. I know people who do in that age. Divorced couples going for the late common child or DINKs who finally made enough money. It looks really tough for them. It's temporarily hard work for a couple of years. It's hard if you're young and don't have money, but it's also hard when you're old and less agile and physical on top.
