most of my friends have older kids. I got started a little bit later than them. And it's not like I am denial about it, I jst think it's crazy to 36 yo and not know anyone personally who is divorced. Even all of my parents friends are all still married, and they have been friends with some of these couples for 40+ years. [ Reply | More ]
