No. But I do somewhat regret waiting fairly long to have them. It was certainly a trade off, and being kid-free for our earlier years certainly gave my wife and I the freedom to do as we pleased and establish solid careers without having to factor kids in all the time. The flip side is that I wish I had my younger body and energy now that we do have kids. They are very taxing, and I would sometimes like to be more all in with them, but it is certainly tougher at 47 than it probably would have been at 37. I really don’t know if I’d change the timing if I could do it all again. Probably not, but it has been something I’ve thought about. OTOH I’ve never had such a thought about having kids at all. They’re wonderful.
