Thanks, but that ship has sailed.

I wouldn’t want to be that old dad that is too tired to play with his kids and then hands them off to the help to raise. I see that with my friends who mostly had kids at 35-36.

Young kids require one thing: lots of energy. And time is kind to no man. Not even Tom Brady.

This is heartbreaking. I'm in the opposite boat, ready for kids and have the time and a husband but can't afford it. Have you considered adopting an older kid? Relatively independent compared to a newborn and less likely to be adopted by others.
