Neither one of us is in ill health at all. We've been tested out the wazoo for pretty much everything in order to do this, including a shit ton of psych stuff. We're both vaxxed (me triply so). The cardiologist was actually HAPPY if perplexed to see me ("we don't get totally normal hearts very often") and gave me a 0.05% chance of having a cardio event in the next ten years. G's dad was his age when his youngest sister was born and is still going strong. My family tends to live to the 90s plus, with one great aunt about to hit 104 next month. His is similarly long aged. We both work out, keep an eye on what we eat. Hell, he's a fitness professional. We have access to pretty much any and every health resource on the planet, and we take advantage. One of the psych people told us older parents tend to do better, because they have their shit together at this point, financially and general life wise.
We could get hit by a truck next week. Or die of breakthrough Covid. Or develop cancer (though it's not in either family at any great rate). Or get bitten by a snake. Or a gagillion things that could kill us. We have no intention of orphaning this kid, but I don't think anyone does.
I figured you'd more object to putting another being into this world, which is admittedly a fucked up place.

The chance of two people in your age category succumbing in the next ten years is ridiculously low. In twenty years, still low. Once one climbs over 70, there's more risk. But I think the data supporting that broad assumption derives from a set including tens of millions of people who smoked, ate like shit, and didn't get cancer screenings. I doubt the actuarial tables keep pace with medical science and behavioral changes as well as they should.
The maturity one acquires by our ages also makes one a much more chill parent. In the late 20s/early 30s, its arguable one is still a child (I remain one presently in certain regards), and will overreact, be neurotic, or helicopter parent. This fucks up kids, IMO. Having seen more in life and being cooler and more even-keeled as a result of that experience will probably create a calm home and thus a much more well adjusted kid. |
