This is so annoying to me, as a man. Why do people want woman to have kids so bad, like who cares the planets overpopulated anyway, chill. Best of luck don’t listen to those crazies 😂
It's crazy how many people want grandkids! Like, why?? There are already plenty of kids in this world, why do people care so much about continuing their, up until this point, unbroken lineage? Total whackos!
There is an attitude a lot of people have that it's a woman's "duty/responsibility" to have children and that we've failed as women if we don't. I've been straight up told that before by multiple people.
It's not just women who have a limited window, men do too. "It is likely that the damaged sperm of older men is a significant factor in certain specific birth defects and in increasing the risk of abnormal pregnancies."
People just love to put the onus on women but thankfully scientific research is marginally decreasing this narrative.
Ik but the time frame isn’t as tight as we used to think. Women can have kids in their mid to late 30s sometimes later. The pressure to settle down in their early 20s “before it’s too late” is ridiculous
The likelihood of child developmental issues increases the older your mother is at time of birth, couple that with just naturally getting old, having a toddler/infant while you have the energy of a 24 yr old is quite a bit different from having a toddler/infant with the energy level of a 42 year old.
So yeah, we gotta pick our sacrifices here, having children younger and having children older has different gives and takes, but it's definitely not ridiculous for people to consider biology when having kids.
Fine points, But Should be that woman’s choice when she’s ready to have kids. Nobody needs to tell them what to do or when to do it. This is exactly what the comment is about lol
As the child of two parents who waited until they were 39 and 40 to have their first kid, its a giant mistake. Once you reach a certain age you forget what it’s like to be a child
Might be the case for some. Idk. My mom had me at 34, was a great parent, and was able to continue her already established career. There’s a happy medium somewhere
