[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was finished with having 3 kids by 27 (had them at 19, 24, 27). Obviously the one at 19 was an "oopsie", but it's worked out perfectly and can't imagine it any other way at this point. Owned a 5 bedroom house in a nice suburb at 26 and was able to be a SAHM for several years. I have a master's degree, a great job with flexibility, kids active in multiple travel sports that cost me in excess of $50k/yr.

So that comment about people being in a lower class when they have kids young is quite laughable. You're probably jealous you didn't have the means to be able to afford a child before 40.

Now my friends I went to high school/college with are dealing with diapers and sleepless nights at 40+, and then gonna be dealing with back to school nights and playdates in their 40's-50s, and paying off college in their 60's. F that. I can do whatever I want because my kids are old enough to take care of themselves now and I'm only 40. That's another 40ish years of life I have to enjoy with my kids and do what I please, when I please.

Oopsie baby takes you out of the running as anyone to take advice from.

We loved dealing with infants as actual adults, not teenagers.[/quote]

Oh come on.  Accidental pregnancies are extremely common (36 out of 1000 women in 2019 alone had one!).[/quote]

What point do you think this makes? All but one of the women I know who got unexpectedly pregnant were not being very careful with their birth control. Two took other meds that conflicted with BCP, one skipped take her pils a couple mornings, one was told by her boyfriend he was not fertile, one got pregnant the only time they skipped the condom.  All of them had abortions and had kids a decade later, when they were ready.

The point is that we would run out of women to take advice from if we put ridiculous standards like yours into place. Her POV is as valid as anyone else’s here.[/quote]
