I am 27 with 4 kids (also under the age of 12, or that is my oldest anyway). I think you are right there in the middle of ages to be a quilter. I started a year and a half ago and havent gotten too much done, but my 11 and almost 6 year old are just as into it as me. Tell your hubby that he's wrong. Thats like saying Fishing is only for Grampas LOL
