I didn't have my first kid until my late 30's -- IMO, it would have been better if I could do it in my mid 30's, but it just didn't happen.
What's funny is -- most of my female friends from highschool and ugrad started popping kids out in their late 20's to early 30's, but most of my guy friends (from HS and ugrad) didn't become dads until their mid to late 30's. The girls generally also got married earlier.

I find typically the girl is the younger one in a couple, for a myriad of reasons, so girls having kids in late 20/early 30 isn't that different than guys becoming dads in their mid 30s.

It would be nice to see more suits around our neighbourhood since that's what we are. It's full of stay at home parents driving late model SUVs.
I decided to join our PAC in an executive capacity for the upcoming school year. I'm the only father on the PAC - wish me luck!

Which area are you in? My wife has gotten to know some of the parents at the daycare and they don't all live in the area, and Fraserview is a bit odd in that there are lot of parents who don't look or act like they need to work.
Generational wealth is pretty common in this area I guess, though there's more and more successful young-ish couples moving in, also tons of rentals.
