It was strange being first time parents at that age, while meeting younger couples who were becoming grandparents
A big part of the reason we didn’t have a third kid was the “advanced maternal age” classification, and scary increases in potential genetic issues when the mother hits 40
It’s always odd for me I’m slightly older than that but I was just at my great-niece and great nephew’s graduation party and I had the youngest child there. While also being a grandfather to one with a second one on the way.

We were considered geriatric on the paperwork at 35 with our second.
Advanced was 30 with our first.
I don’t even know what 40 is these days. They just write “Cooked”?
My brother had his kids at 41 and 43. He loves it except for the fact that everyone assumes he’s their grandfather.
I was fine with that part, but now my peers are all talking about retirement while I still have two in college
