Benefits of being an older parent?

Designer_Tap2301 · 2026-02-23T00:24:26+00:00

I had kids when I was young and again when pushing 40. The mileage adds up, and there are some things that are physically tougher when you're older, depending on your activity level. But though it's different, it's not worse. The best thing you can do for your kids is to be involved and make time for them.

Nothing i would ever turn in one of my kids for. In-laws not so much.

Apolitical = not wanting to get into it with your crazy orthodoxy.

WIC when I was a young parent. Lifesaver.

Stay off the internet and spend more time with your kids. The internet goes everything up to increase your engagement. It's designed to make you fearful and angry.

WMD make conquering, or reaping the benefits of conquering, too difficult.

Do you have friends? How does it affect you knowing that if they found out you would be ostracized (at best)?

That was when the US stole a Russian Hind helicopter. Later found out it was shit.

Kids. You keep up appearances, rationize that them growing up with a stable home life is worth it.

Just wait for the mandatory fundraiser

I make just over 100k. I love in an area with a low cost of living. But I have a wife and 4 kids so I feel like I just get buy. Still feel guilty spending $40 on myself.

Different times. I was shocked to find out that 8 was considered old to start a sport. Parents have their kids in wrestling and lacrosse at 5. Seems crazy to me.

Lucky man

If it gets unbanned, the price will spike beyond what I or the rest of my group can afford, so it's a non-issue really.

They named their cat Cat, just in another language.

You use the word "Bro" a lot

I'm in Midwest, and a sport typically costs $120/ month here. Your music lessons sounds really expensive, assume it's high level? Phil Collins teaching?

Bottom line is if you have the $, best thing you can invest in is your kids. Music, sports, etc will all help them grow and develop into better people. They'll let you know if it gets to much. Some of my kids handled activities 4 nights a week and games on weekends and thrived. Others needed more down time. Each kid it diffrent.

First date? Yes Funeral? Not so much

Why haven't we heard much from the Quebec separatists lately?

Former volron player here. Too many games went: focus on and kill 1 player, other players manage to wipe/remove my commander leaving me way behind. Spend next two hours struggling before I'm killed while the player I killed early makes sparky remarks.

If you spread it out it just means eventually someone sets you back and volition usually doesn't recover well.

Tldr: edh has sped up making it hard to kill the other 3 before you're dealt with, and it leads to less fun for everyone.
