I had brunch a couple times in my late 20s (pre-kids). It was nice, I guess.

If brunch is an important part of your life, much is lacking.

The only one obsessed with brunch (and SATC) is belligerent brunch granny.

You didn't get the Brunch Granny memo.

Why were you late 20's with no kids?!

FOR SHAME!!! Must have been those few brunches, you ruined yourself, destroyed your STD-ridden sl+t eggs with those...eggs.

Well maybe men should grow up and make us want to get married and start popping out babies before we turn 30?

I didn’t say it was fair.
But she’s not wrong about biology.

It's all about the context. It's not worth getting married at 25 and having kids before age 30 just to avoid potential fertility problems. It's a much bigger problem if the couple gets divorced. What's wrong with adoption anyway?

+1. By 24 I desperately wanted to get married and have 4 kids, but it took me until 33 to find the right man who I could actually build a future with and be happy with, so I’ll probably only have 2. But There’s so much more to marriage and building a life than just having kids. You spend, what, 25 years out of 50+ years of marriage raising children. There needs to be something else there when the kids are gone, and it can’t be grandkids that you see a couple times a month.

1-2 kids with the right person later in life is almost always better than 3-4 kids with the wrong person. Having a deeper connection and strong marriage has been equally as important to my happiness as having kids, I can’t imagine having to raise children in a lackluster, roommate marriage.

I see you in the Relationship forum, posting about your premarital sex and your promiscuity in your 30s, past your best child bearing years! You are sluts and your eggs are rotten. Have an Croque Madame for me, and I will take a vodka and grapefruit, thank you.

You realize you’re posting on a message board, right? Get a little life for yourself.

DP, but your satire detector is broken.

So does that mean that Brunch Granny is PRO brunch for those of us in our 50s past child bearing years?

I'm laughing to myself about how little you know about fertility problems and adoption while you chug bottomless mimosas. The door to motherhood is gonna close without your knowledge or permission. You may think it's fine in your late 20s, but you'll probably have a different opinion in your late 30s. But hey - YOLO!

Of course not. Everyone knows at that age your only source of joy should be your grandkids and you need to spend every weekend morning visiting them. If your DIL protests, just remind her that those remaining eggs are drying up and she better get to work making you more grandkids before she turns into a SJP look-alike.

You do know this is DCUMOMS right? Pretty much everyone on here is in the thick of motherhood. We’re not a bunch of 25 year olds; presumably they are all at brunch or having sex. Certainly they aren’t hanging out here. Maybe try TikTok if you’re trying to reach the younger crowd? You could do some “Shake your ass for fertility” videos.

Nope, but I see the complications ahead for the brunchers. Do your thing, but adopting a kid isn't like ordering from Carvana. And IVF is in the $25k range. Can you afford that and a down payment?

As was noted upthread, most of us, including myself, already have children. I have 3, all born in my mid-to-late 30s. Also a house, and even a vacation home. Life has been very good to us.

Then enjoy your mimosas guilt-free!

I’m old. Is brunch still the trendy thing it used to be? I assume the yuppy women who were super into getting drunk at brunch are millennials and gen Xers, now in their 30s and 40s. I don’t think brunch is as trendy with current 20-somethings. But I could be wrong.

DMV is all feds and lawyers, federal and law firm health insurance covers IVF treatment.
