My girlfriend and I are 25 and 27. She wants six kids and I’m also up for having a small army of them too, but she wants to wait until she’s 29 or 30 which is likely to decrease the chances of this. How do I persuade her that having children sooner is a good idea and what would you say to women in general who are waiting longer and longer to have kids?
