33 years older for me, youngest is 6. My dad had his first kid when he was 40 and youngest when he was 51.
He told me when I was young that it was ok to wait to be established before having them but after he had a couple grandkids for my brothers and sisters, he told me that he was wrong and we should have them sooner so they could get to know their grandparents(I barely knew mine).
None of it affected when we actually had our kids but it did give me an interesting perspective on his views. As it was, my youngest was less than 6 months old when my dad passed. I'm glad to at least have a few pictures of them together. Only my oldest really remembers him which really bothers me quite a bit. Moral of the story, don't wait too long.
