Also back to your relationship question that I probably didn't answer. I already know someone in advanced age with a kid and they have a great relationship. I haven't even considered it. As long as I live a while longer I'm sure I'll have a healthy relationship. I'm quite a chill person and young at heart and genuinely don't see that as an issue. If anything I think it might even be better! I genuinely think it will be beneficial that I'm not trying to grow up at the same time as my kid and can act as a caring and relaxed parent without any additional stress. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ink@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago Congratulations, and I wish the very best for you, your child, and your loved ones! :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago Yes and there are no guarantees anyway, even if you are younger. My dad died when I was 16, he wasn't old. I had some when young then some when older, it's different for sure, more resources less energy but certainly better emotional regulation, less easily annoyed does help. Congratulations! permalink fedilink source parent
