Meh, it gets a bit unsettling and empty when you get into your 40s. At least it did for me. We had a kid (much) later in life and I'm glad we did. We had our DINK fun in our 30s, and I still long for those days sometimes. But having a kid is like filling a hole you didn't realize you had. And there are moments of joy and bonding that are simply indescribable.

Anyway, to each their own.

Any siblings? Let them have kids and help out. I've got a niece and nephew and I love them to bits, but I'm still glad they are not mine. Anyways, being an uncle/aunt? Can recommend!
