      What is advice you would give to your children but other people you respect would disagree with?

      The range of outcomes which are acceptable is substantially broader than the range of outcomes which are societally acceptable and also substantially narrower than "absolutely anything, if that's what you want."

      Also I've got another ~20 years to marinate on this one but I think I'm about 50% of the way there on "marry in your early twenties, have kids soon after, and laugh merrily when our social class is scandalized."

          I suspect that's a good way to make someone feel like they've disappointed their parents if for some they make it to 30 and aren't married

          You have to first remind your kids, repeatedly, forever, that your love does not come with terms and conditions

          Did you get married in your early 20s and have kids soon after?

          I married at 22, but delayed kids until 32. If doing it again, I'd have kind around 25. Waiting so long is one of my few big regrets. Less time my kids know my parents. Less time I'll know their kids.
