    I got along with my parents really well in my 20’s and 30’s, and it’s kinda hard watching them age now, but we got 2 good decades, maybe 3, of both generations being functional adults who love each other and enrich each other’s lives.

    I enjoyed being childless in my 20’s and early 30’s, and anticipate enjoying having 20+ year old children in my late 50’s onward.

    Babies and toddlers are whatever. I love my children but still don’t really like other people’s children. But as they (and their peers and their cousins and their friends) grow older, I can definitely see personalities form and become future adults who I will really enjoy spending time with.
