[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1258638, member: 2205"] I had my first when I was 24 and not even in grad school yet. Jessica was born when I was in my MBA program, and my last two were born after I was finally working professionally. I know this isn't the point of the thread and none of my business to boot, but I'm clearly not a fan of waiting to have kids. For one thing, who wants to be sitting around wanting to retire, but still have kids in college, or even high school? Anyway, my oldest is now about seven and a half. I've never played anything even vaguely RPGlike other than just tossing dice around with him. He's also never expressed much interest. I keep meaning to run something scaled down to his level, maybe something Star Wars so he can identify easily with the setting and the characters. Just to see how he takes to it. But it's up to him; I don't have any problem with him either being or not being involved with the hobby. He's got his own things he's interested in already. I don't want to cram my hobby down his throat on top of that. Then again, maybe I'm somewhat over-sensitive. I tried to cram roleplaying games down my wife's throat and it turned out badly. Now she doesn't want to have anything to do with them. [/QUOTE]
