Ah Jay I see your point so many factors at play the second time round with kids. I know when I married my second husband at 38 I'd had my tubed tied at age 27 as had three healthy kids. My OB-GYN said want them untied? I said absolutley not been there done that and I have three healthy kids. And then their is the risk of birth defects as age goes up. My oldest Daughter is 42 and wouldn't consider having a child she and her husband love their ability to travel and have lots of toys. Both have jobs that earn a lot of money. I was a grandmother before 40 and my patience was definitely not what it had been at age l9 when I had my first. And not the energy I had then either. Some say well I've had my career and can settle down and know I can afford college and the best for a baby. I know a few neighbors who have a teen and are now adopting. So you have many options women don't have. You can conceive a child well into old age. Maybe someone early 30's seems to be the trend now. My mother was 31 when I was born father 33. My mother died when I was l7. So there are a lot of factors that women consider. Yes it's very difficult but you are such a nice guy I know you will meet the right woman. Probably in the grocery store when least expecting it. You just never know. Phillipa
