If you don’t like the question, you are free to move on to another. Here is my argument:
I heard on the news about a woman who spent her young years in sports and stuff and decided she was ready to have a baby when she was late 40’s and then had to use an fertility treatment or something because she had trouble conceiving. What do they expect. They had plenty of years to have children but chose to put other stuff first so I say they deserve what they get & i call it self inflicted infertility. Most of these women could have married earlier and had children but decided to put it off for more "important things". They are very selfish giving their young years to sports or a career and then burdening their children with their old age when the children are still teenagers.
I have a hard time dealing with women who are surprised they have trouble conceiving at 34-46, when most mothers that age have teenagers. I think there’s nothing wrong with finishing your education, or establishing a steady career before you procreate. I don’t mean women like this. I am talking about the ones that actually have this enormous agenda, like travel the world, become president of their company, make a million, build an enormous house, wait til their bodies are worn out…they plan and they plan and they triumph, and then when they can’t get pregnant at 46, they cry to you and tell you that’s what they most wanted, and if they had it to do all over again, they’d have had children earlier! It’s hard to listen to this. If it happens you don’t marry until you are older, that can’t be blamed. And I’m certainly not in favor of teen pregnancy. But why are so many women waiting to their old.
I’ve heard a lot of people say that they will have more to give their children, but that’s a sort of vague idea. They talk about financial security and maturity, but what about energy? Ask people who had children at both 21 and 31, none of them will tell you it wasn’t harder older. I mean, isn’t your health and vitality a consideration in this matter? If you’re giving birth at 34- 46, your child graduates when you are50- 64. Your kids will be teased because their parents look like their grandparents? No wonder why Australia doesn’t allow fertilization.
Just like someone else said ‘ If you live long enough to see your grandchildren, what will you be able to give them’?
It might not be my problem, but people are so quick to judge teens that have babies when its none of their business. Also when people have kids with disorders and genetic diseases, they usually cant afford to take care of them, so its the tax payers who do. When older women have kids they are putting them at risk for which is so selfish its disgusting. Why don’t people see a problem with this, but they are so quick to judge other women like teens etc?
kate nice try. I graduated from college at 24 and immediately started having kids while i still worked. No need to insult people because you dont agree with their opinion. Looks like you are not mature enough go handle Y!A. Please get a life.
Damien Lee and Aleena May’s YOU are ignorant if you consider what you said an argument & the fact that people will tease because they have old parents was not the sole argument, so you need to learn how to read better.
I agree with everything you said. Also not to long ago it was normal for women to have kids and get married in their teens. Thats when women are most fertile. Just because its different now days doesn’t make it wrong. Also, i know a lot of teens who are actually good mothers. Not all of them aren’t and at least they have their babies instead of taking the easy way out and getting an abortion. A lot of people have kids when they are young and people look down on them. But when they are 40 + they can have their free time and live their life with their husbands etc and travel where as people who are just having kids are dragging them around miserably because they have no energy. Its ok when this is unintentional, but its irresponsible to have them latter on purpose and its not fair to the child. Is it fair that a little boy cant play baseball with his dad because his dad doesn’t have the energy?
