This is an American thing. I'm European, 27 and I'm regularly shocked after conversing with people my age on the other continent casually mentioning their 'husband' or 'wife and kids'.

It’s not an American thing. It’s like this everywhere. Poland, England, Germany, uSA, Ireland, Australia. Everywhere.

  Lol no it's not. Mean age when having one's first child is 29+ among EU women: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/DDN-20190318-1?inheritRedirect=true https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/D... Also keep in mind that this age is inversely correlated with education level, so among the typical HN crowd and their social circles (among which I expect people often have a college degree or even a PhD) it's even higher.

    I have two advanced degrees, my wife has a bachelors degree, and we've been married since we were 21/20 (now both 34) and have two school-aged kids.

  "Everywhere", meaning the Western developed world.
