[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hags and geezers having babies.[/quote]

OMG, do you live in north Arlington!?! Moved here from out of state and was shocked at the haggard, beaten-down oldsters pushing baby carriages around and attending Kindergarten recitals. It's gross. [/quote]

Maybe it's the grandparents? Also, out of curiosity, what do you consider geezer-age for actual parents? I'm 33 and pregnant with my first, and from time to time I encounter trailer-trash types who can't believe a geriatric person like me is only now having kids...[/quote]

I'm the PP. I'm highly educated and I'm from DC originally - just moved away and came back (now have a kid) and realized that this area is very different in this respect. 33 seems pretty normal (though on the young side here?). People in their 40s shouldn't be having their first kids. Give it up and don't doom your kids to geriatric parents! I think we all realize that we're physically meant to have kids in our teens/20s but of course that's not socioeconomically feasible - can we find a happy medium somewhere in the middle? I know there are a million excuses (I'm TTC! I didn't find the right person till I was older! Boo hoo). it's not my business but that's the point of this string.[/quote]
