Oh they can have passed 40
I'll post pictures too later on tonight about my family. The son of the handsome dad in that post above is named Brunolo. I chose him to inherit because he is the only one that wanted kids. I was hoping he would have six but I guess even people that definitely want kids have their limits.
He is currently 44, and a toymaker. He was originally a shoe maker but struggled to feed his family and had to give up his dream when his first son, Hub ( now 17), was born. His wife, Iota (love her name, didn't pick it) is also 44. They were 23 when they married and both were definitely keen on having children yet they struggled. Even
with Iota's decent salary they couldn't afford fertility treatments or adoption. I was so happy when Hub FINALLY came along that I named him inheritor at his birth. Thankfully, after my haste decision, he proved himself a great son; studious, exercises a lot, helps his folks a lot... he does it all! I don't think I've ever given him the glove.
Equally her own person and not in her older brother's shadow (maybe a wee bit
) is ten year old Breniana. She's happiest when jumping on the bed or banging dishes. Mom and dad have taken note and decided to spend a little more time with her. They tickle, and read hers stories when they can as they believe that she is acting out for attention. They are also "new agey" and don't believe in the red glove so it's been nasty candy for her ( I use the red glove when they aren't looking!)
The third and final child has just been born- weird how they couldn't conceive in their 20's and 30's but got a baby on the first try at 44! Baby is named Bengico. His older brother,Hub, is a little embarrassed because he thinks his parents are too old, but Breniana celebrates his arrival often, as do mom and dad of course
