I’m 68 and I had two girls. I think the conventional thinking is that having kids is supposed to be the thing that will add fulfillment to your life. And it certainly can - partners may come and go but you will always have that bond with your kids. I love visiting mine now - all grown up…But some people have to deal with really serious problems with their kids, like physical or mental illness or drug addiction. Such things may prevent you from achieving what you want out of life. One thing I have learned though is that you may not really know or not whether you want them until they arrive. No wonder they say: ´Kids are a trip’
