Ibn:
Honestly, no BS ... you need to lower your expectations. If you don't do it right now, Life will do it for you later on and you won't have much choice.
I wish I could lower it to 24, but that would be pushing it a bit too much.
I understand what you're saying, hell at this point I'm not even certain I will be able to physically have kids, but I see no problem in mapping out when you would like to begin/finish having kids. Of course Allah, swt, is the Best of Planners but I like to tie up my horse.
