The problem with "not being quite ready" is several fold.
1. kids always make new friends even if they say they won't. I've "been there done that", both as a a kid and as an adult.
2. While your "waiting" for your kids, your future is going by.
3. It will cost more in a few years than it will cost in a few days, weeks months or years.
Lost time, lost momentum, lost opportunities, lost money, ect.
4. Your kids will grow up and leave, that's an undeniable fact of life. It's what your training them for, eh?
5. Y'all aint gettin any younger. The older ya get the harder it is.
