@cjwilcoxen but is it really that big of a deal? I never heard of the term until today. Nor have I ever seen a reel, short or video about it. To me, it is dorky, but there are plenty of dorky things out there.
Honestly and biasedly I believe kids do have it better when their parents are in their 30s. Think about it-by the time you hit your 30s, you’re more settled. You’ve had time to figure out your career, save some money, and maybe even buy a house. That kind of stability makes a big difference for kids. A 30-something parent can afford things like better schools, extracurriculars, and even family vacations that a younger parent might not have the budget for yet. Then there’s the emotional side. In your 20s, life can be kind of chaotic-figuring out who you are, what you want, and maybe even still "finding" Christ. By your 30s, you’ve mellowed out. You’re less likely to lose your cool when your toddler is throwing a tantrum in the middle of Target. That extra patience and maturity? It really helps kids feel safe and supported. And let’s not forget the experience. Someone in their 30s has probably had more life experiences-travel, education, career ups and downs-that they can pass on to their kids. They might introduce their kids to new hobbies, teach them problem-solving skills, or encourage curiosity about the world. Sure, younger parents might have more energy to keep up with their kids, but parenting isn’t just about chasing toddlers around. It’s about creating a stable, loving environment, and having the resources to give your kids opportunities to thrive. And honestly? That’s where 30s parents usually shine. Of course, every family is different, but there’s a lot to be said for waiting a bit and going into parenthood feeling really prepared and confident. Kids pick up on that, and it can make a big difference in how they grow up.
Oh I forgot. Australian 38yr old with 3 kids under 5. 4.5yr old daughter and 2.5yr old twin boys. I want 4 total but after the twins the wife is opposed to it, can't blame her though 😅 I'll keep trying.

I’m so curious how many kids people have who watch this!? I’m at 3!
