I'd never start another family over 40 (see the 50's thread). I had Robert and Russell when I was just 19, I was far too young really but I managed with a lot of help from my Mum and Dad. I missed out on my youth to a certain extent, while my mates were out clubbing I was changing nappies. Now I'm nearing 40 and the boys aren't 'boys' now, they are young men. Now I don't want to go clubbing all night, but I've got my life back at an age where I still feel young. The idea of doing it all over again doesn't appeal, I've done my bit as far as reproduction goes :lol

I think both young and older parents have draw backs.
