[quote=Anonymous]Among my friend group it’s not just delaying for “fun” but for education and work. As more careers that require an intense training/work time in your 20s open up to women, of course women who have that desire to explore those paths will delay. I had my kids in my mid-30s and I feel good about it. My 20s were full of experiences I wouldn’t have had if parenting, and I have more patience and life experience with which to parent now. I feel able to set myself aside and consider my children’s needs without having that unfulfilled/resentful feeling that can develop for women who have other life ambitions or yearnings but can’t pursue them at 45/50 once motherhood is over. At that point you might be up for some travel but it’s rare to have the drive to start developing yourself if you put that on the back burner your whole life.[/quote]
