Do you homeschool? Are you a submissive wife?

No, I went to Northwestern journalism school.

So a string of bad choices then?

I think this is what the young people call a “self-own”.

When I was 24, I was SO immature and the guys were even more so. Can't imagine having married any of them. And I'm glad I had my single years, I grew up a lot.

Respectfully, you’re still oblivious. Report back after you’re actually married, when you actually get pregnant and have a child (if possible) and when you actually try to have another one or two. Or when you’re in your 40s and your friends who settled down quickly have their kids heading to college and yours (again, if you have any) are in primary school. When they retire and you still have ten years left. Then get on here and tell us how smart it was to waste ten years of fertility. Your tune will change.

I never understand why people who have kids early in life are so excited to get it over with. Why did you even have kids if you didn’t enjoy spending time with them and couldn’t wait for them to leave?

You really think the average early 30s woman is having trouble getting pregnant? Please go touch grass.

Women are in their prime from 22-28. Men from about 27-35. Men don’t have to.

LOL what do you think happens to a woman when she turns 28? Does her uterus fall out?

First time babies over the age of 35 means old eggs, etc.

¾NP. Wow how do second or third babies know how to use the youngest eggs, that’s amazing

PP here. We have an explosion of kids with special needs. I said etc. Waiting 20+ years past the start of menstruation is a big risk for first time moms.

The real issue is that old sperm.

Wait so there are hardly any children with special needs in the mid/southwest and the south? That’s incredible!

Stop assuming that it’s inevitable that every woman wants to have a baby. It’s not.

Can we get this thread deleted? It's not even about Sofia Richie and is incredibly sexist. Women should be able to do whatever they want to do. Get married young, get married old, not get married at all, have kids, never have kids, etc.

And special needs are far more likely in babies born to very young mothers who drank & smoked while pregnant

So you got lucky and met your life partner in your early/mid 20s. Why do you think that makes you better than someone who doesn’t meet the right person until they’re 30? I would’ve loved to marry my college BF in a different life, except he cheated on me.

I don’t think I’m “better than” you. I think that people should universally be ready to pick out a mate by 26-29, and actively be looking for that, rather than indulging in prolonged adolescence.

26 to 29 is late and already a shallow dating pool full of leftovers and baggage. Teens and college-aged young adults should be mindful of who they socialize with and date. Marrying a high school sweetheart is not weird or small-minded, it’s incredibly pure and romantic. Same for marrying that classmate you met during welcome week of college or in a study group your third year. Teach your children to take friendships and relationships seriously very early on. Value their reputation. Don’t treat dating like it’s an app carelessly swiping and discarding. Set a goal that you’d like to marry soon after college and don’t waste time with non-serious men or women. Men and women lacked this goal because it wasn’t seen as cool by pop culture. With celebs like Sofia marrying so young, young adults [now] have cool and gorgeous celebs to mirror.

You’re right, women should start breeding at 14 cuz nature.

26 to 19 is far too late. Young people should be doing all of what you mentioned in time to marry at 18, or at 16-17 in the states where that’s legal. Anything after that is way too late.

Yes, according to the New York Times.
