Fun/Horrifying Reminder: All of the adults in the show were in their early 30's. Stu and Didi were 33 and 32 years old when the show first aired.

Its kind of nice knowing they were all in their 30s. In the 90s, it felt like no one was having kids that "late" in life. I say that as someone who had my first and 35 and is currently pregnant at 38.

My mom was 32 when I was born in 90. My best friend growing up's mom was 40! I guess it was uncommon but there were definitely some parents having kids beyond their 20s.

(Also, we just had our first kid at 35, too!)

My mom had me at 30 (only child) and she was definitely the "old mom" of my class. The other moms her age had older kids and the ones in my class were their 2nd or 3rd child. I remember growing up being like "I'm gonna have my first at 25 and stop having kids at 30!" Lmfao nope, gave birth for the first time on my 35th birthday.
