I don’t just want to experience the joy of having kids. I want to build a dynasty. I want my kids to be twice what I am. I want for my great grandchildren to experience the joy you speak of, reliably. My kids will be homeschooled, and they will likely have bachelor degrees by the time they’re 18. So maybe they will be able to have children younger than I. But, for this lost generation, to have kids so young is a death sentence. It is to repeat the same mistakes our parents made — so foolish.
