I was 35 when our son was born, and then 39 when our daughter came along (the adoption process is sloooooow, people). In any case, I maintain we should have started having kids AT LEAST five years earlier than we did. I definitely would not have been a good parent when I was young, but being an older parent sucks for so many reasons.

I was 38 years old when I had my first baby; 40 with the second…oh, and I was 20 when I got married. Yeah, it took that long.

How long before they do expect a visit from the stork? I can’t remember how long it was after this strip ran.

Too old?! I thought they were in their early 30s! Well, this just got depressing quickly …

Pretty uncanny timing there by Cathy’s mom. As for the discussion of Cathy and Irving, I say do what makes you happy.
HI, MOM. Hello, Clan.

Do NOT, I repeat do NOT have children to please others….if you don’t want them, don’t have them.
