[quote=Anonymous]I always love when people who had their kids in their forties so got to have that experience then say..mmm not a good choice. You could get hit by a bus in your twenties..life is never certain. I could understand encouraging people who are already married to go ahead and have that child and not wait years because of potential health stuff but..for people who did not find that special someone until late..to even intimate that they shouldn't have kids because they might get tired or sick is just unhelpful at best. One thing I do feel strongly about is that if you have kids later..you owe to take care of yourself (you should anyway) but even more so older..you should not be overweight or smoke or drink heavy and you should get regular check up etc --if you are unwilling to do that..then no you should not have kids later because that will put you on track for early mortality and that isn't fair to a little kid. Isn't fair to an older kid but if you are twenty when your forty year old mom dues due to heavy smoking, you are better prepared to deal.[/quote]
