I became a dad at 41. I’m fit, been working out at least 3x per week since my teen days, eat well etc… and damn between full time work and parental duties I’m half dead by the time I go to bed (and then the little gremlin won’t sleep well!).
I suppose being 10 or 15 years younger would help a lot in this regard.
I don’t regret anything though, what I lived in my twenties and thirties wouldn’t have been possible or much more difficult with kids.
My country is always near the top in life expectancy (84 or so) so if I’m lucky I’ll still get 40 years with my daughter
I became a Dad to a colicky kid at 28, and cannot confirm that it's easy.
Easier, maybe, as each year I feel more tired - I'm not yet 41, and my triathlon and 5k times have been slowly dropping, but there was an enormous step function when my son was born.
