Having Kids Later
shutterstock.com" />
Good things come to those who wait,but one thing you might not want to put off is fatherhood. We’ve often heard about women having a biologicalclock, but men too have that tick-tocking, and waiting can endanger your futurekids. In a new study, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canadasays that men above 40 are in a category of “advanced paternal age,” whichmeans their kids will be at a higher risk of genetic disorders, some forms of cancer,autism, and even schizophrenia. That’s because after the age of 32, their semenquality starts to decline, and that can lead to a slew of problems. Not only does thequality go down, but so does the volume. Men in that age group also have sex less frequently and are more likely to be victims of sexualdysfunction. So along with getting a life, agood career and a good wife, you better start making babies soon before time runsout. Happy Monday, everyone. Continue Reading

Re: Having Kids Later
I'm 37 and my son will be 3 this march. My wife and i weren't planning on having children at the time she got pregnant, we were busy partying, spending frivilously on vacations and such. The news was a big adjustment for us to make and even for some time after he was born it was tough. We missed going out to clubs, dinner, movies and on vacations without having to think about anyone but ourselves. I also missed being able to train whenever and for however long or frequently as i wanted because it was just me and her. That being said, in a matter of just a few months and all that stuff wasn't as important to us. As he has grown and really continued to develop as a person he has become more and more THE MEANING OF OUR LIVES. There isn't anything in the world you could offer me to go back to the way things were before him. It's funny how true the things my parents have said to me in my younger years turned out to be. The greatest thing my mother ever said to me was that she didn't understand how much her mother and mother in law were in love with us kids until my son came along. Now she understands completely how wrapped up in their grandkids grandparents get. IT was truely one of the happiest moments in my life to realize how positively this little boy has affected so many people in the family.
Wow, i wasn't expecting to get this sentimental this morning.

That's beautiful!!! I remember my first born, I was 27, the Mrs. was 26, huge adjustment for us. Like you we were enjoying life, but something happens in those first few months that changes everything!!
God, I couldn't get home fast enough to hold my little girl on my arms. Loved the way she smiled at me and how she would grip my finger with her little hand!! I miss those days. She's in her third year of college now. Time goes so fast!! Enjoy these moments my friend, savor each and every second!!! Before you know it she'll be in college, then married! My son is in his third year of high school. It seems as if both kids are more out of the house with their friends, than at home with us. Which let my wife and I rekindle our relationship. We go on dates again, dinners, dancing.... It's all come full circle. We just recently celebrated our 25th anniversary! Life is good!!!
