Elder Millennial wrestles with the idea of starting a family at 38 years old, receives wholesome advice from other 'geriatric' parents happy they waited: 'Kids make you feel young'

Having kids changes everything in your life. The gravity of raising a tiny human from birth alters a parent's brain chemistry, changes their priorities, and enriches their life in every way–but what if you're not ready for all of that until you're older? 

You keep kicking the can further down the street to avoid making a mistake as a potential parent and like a lot of Millennials, all of a sudden, you're considered 'geriatric'. Just because Mom and Pop had kids when they were in their early 20s doesn't mean that parents of this next generation should mirror the same timeline. Quite frankly, most Millennials are still trying to get their bills paid and their career on track without worrying about another mouth to feed… which is why the elder Millennial in our next tale, a 38-year-old who finally got their life together, is officially considering starting a family. 

Keep scrolling to read all the details of a geriatric pregnancy on the way and a prospective parent who finally feels they can be the best they can be… with a little help from an unlikely source of wholesome advice.
