Thanks, but that ship has sailed.

I wouldn’t want to be that old dad that is too tired to play with his kids and then hands them off to the help to raise. I see that with my friends who mostly had kids at 35-36.

Young kids require one thing: lots of energy. And time is kind to no man. Not even Tom Brady.

There are a lot of things you can do with your children and not all of them require that YOU be high-energy. They require patience, love and the ability to sit there and listen to them when they come over to show you their accomplishments. 

Playmates are easy to find. Just go to the park.
