FWIW - I had my first 2 children at 25 and 27, and the last 2 at 37 and 39. It's MUCH easier when you are younger - AND you have the advantage of having them out of the house while you are still young (ish). As you say, it's a trade-off. Love and adore my children - but by the time I have an empty nest, I will have had nestlings for 32 years. Not that I counted.
I plan on being INCREDIBLY selfish!
