[quote=Anonymous]I am a 38 year old lawyer who is married with 2 kids. I have four close friends in this situation or who were post 35. One just has gotten married but they don’t want kids. She has an amazing career and they travel a lot. I wouldn’t be shocked if they tried to have kids in a couple years but it would be only one she odds aren’t amazing at nearly 40.

One is a very high earning attorney who is contemplating having a baby solo. She froze her eggs at 33. The others are coming up dry in the urban dating pool or happily single.

I am happy with my life but I think a lot of women look at what it’s like to be a highly educated woman married to a man in 2024 and a parent in 2024 more generally and say no thanks. Being a working mom can be brutal. Most men don’t carry anywhere near half the load, even when the wife makes all the money. And generally, grandparents aren’t the “village” needed to make life work.

Their lives are theirs. Love them, celebrate them, do fun vacations with them. Don’t push your agenda on them - that will only alienate them. [/quote]
