[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 1257559, member: 939"] I've heard that before, from many parents - almost everyone I work with has kids, and I'm older than average in starting, I'm sure. But though there may be no "good" time there is definitely a "bad" one - and now would qualify. Working 40-70 hour weeks, never being home at night until after 9pm, spending all weekend doing homework for law school - plus my wife works and travels for work, so she is only home Friday night through Monday morning pretty much every week. That just won't work for a newborn. Daycare does NOT go til 9pm, there is no family nearby that can help out, and I really must spend my weekends doing homework - I don't have any time at all to devote to a kid on this schedule. So I do realize that there is no perfect time - but I do know it would be irresponsible to have kids at this time. Which is why my wife, though she is now 30 and starting to feel the clock ticking, knows that we have to wait until I graduate. But that is probably a bit off topic. ;) I hope my kids do take an interest in gaming. [/QUOTE]
