    Ok that’s actually reasonable. “Hey you’re getting older, if you want kids now’s a good age to either start trying or freeze some eggs” is something I never would have thought was necessary until entering my 30s and learning multiple people older than me in my life absolutely did not understand that they were approaching the “now or never” age and well into the age where bad luck can take all the chances they have left.

    It’s weird hearing people in their mid 30s say they plan on having kids someday

      I had my first kid at 40. I wasn’t raising kids in poverty or expecting to saddle a huge education debt on them.
