So if someone is going to have 11 kids (both my grandmothers actually) they need to get started early, hit the ground running. If, however, do to the above a couple gets started in their late thirties then few children will happen.
I just had this conversation with my SO today. And I said that knowing her parents are going to be close alleviates a bit of the anxiety around having kids. Not because I need their guidance, but to give me a break that I will need to have.
