It's funny/enjoyable reading about all of you guys around my age who have teenagers or older and the experiences you've gone through, it's like looking into a crystal ball and it (mostly) makes me excited for the future.
I also totally get you all saying "I can't imagine having a toddler at this age", you've done your tour of duty on that front, but when your my age (mid 40s) and have a toddler it's just what it is... sleep deprivation probably sucks at any age. Yeah, I'm probably more tired than I would have been in my 30s if I had a kid then, but I'm also more financially stable than I was in my early 30s and have a lot more flexible work-life balance because of it.
I know this thread has gotten a little off topic but it's just a very interesting read from my perspective and I appreciate everyone sharing.
