Meh, it gets a bit unsettling and empty when you get into your 40s. At least it did for me. We had a kid (much) later in life and I'm glad we did. We had our DINK fun in our 30s, and I still long for those days sometimes. But having a kid is like filling a hole you didn't realize you had. And there are moments of joy and bonding that are simply indescribable.

Anyway, to each their own.

that's a mid life crisis. I'm glad having a kid helped you through it. Also a better option than running away with a hooker, maybe.
