Have children late and then die early.
“Have children late and then die early”
There is certainly some truth in it and for some, it might be a workable strategy.
On the flip side - We started very early and so did our children. I learned that authority always wins and became a parent rather than a “buddy” it worked for us. We trained them, protected them, enforced behavior and study and those 4 grew to become independent responsible adults with families of their own.
We just witnessed the 17th birth (a 3rd great grand son) and we are both young enough to enjoy them all.
At some point around 40 we realized that there will always be children in our lives. BUT they don’t have to live here.
