[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The norm around here for professionals is to have kids in their mid thirties or later so yeah, well educated men are surprised if you have a kid.  Tell them prior to the first date so they know.  Will prevent the deer in headlights look.[/quote]

This is not the norm. It's not unusual and it's more common than at many other places, but it's not the norm. Most professionals, even in this area, have thir first child in their early thirties. Stop pretending otherwise.[/quote]

I totally agree. I work FT and earn around 180k as does my husband. Most of my friends are in the same category.  Only 2 people had children starting in their late 30s. I was done at 32. I don't know anyone who had kids prior to 23, but even in my children's upper middle class elementary school the "old" mom scenario is certainly not the majority.[/quote]

All the moms I know in DC started in their mid 30s. And there is a big difference between having a kid at say 33 and 28 and divorced already.[/quote]
