The benefit of being male is that I thankfully can defer this choice indefinitely, but man, what a trade off (especially as I’d like to have kids for my mom’s sake, and she’s not getting any younger).

Men don't have a sharp fertility cliff, but paternal age isn’t irrelevant to reproduction, either.
Taking care of the kids and sharing moments with them won't be easier when you grow older though, on the contrary. Fortunately that part is only 30 years long.
Agreed. As I mentioned there’s the additional side of having kids soon enough such that my mother is young enough to enjoy them as well.
Don’t have kids for anyone’s sake than your own. In the hard times you are better off if there’s no one else to blame.
Bank swimmers before 40. Get snipped. Your bank account and future offspring (should you choose) will thank you. Sperm quality declines with age and resulting offspring wouldn't necessarily be as healthy. Reminds me, I'm stepping away from the computer and going out. It's ACL.
