[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my neighbor had her second child at your age and died in an accident at 43. Her siblings are in the mid-fifties and her parents are in their 80's since she was also the youngest in her family. Her DH has gone into a downward spiral of depression followed by unemployment and cannot care for the children. There is no family member or friend who are willing/able to take on a toddler and elementary-aged child at this point in their lives and the elderly grandparents are unable to. You should be sure before you have children that there will be guardians willing and able to care for both your children. [/quote]

I mean, this doesn't seem to have much to do with OP's age. An accident is just as likely at 33 as 43 and plenty of people with no siblings/no or physically unfit parents have kids. Everyone should make sure they have guardians sorted out for their children should something happen. (I do understand that older parents are somewhat more likely to die from non-accident causes than younger parents, so this is something they especially need to consider in that regard... But this anecdote is a particularly bad example of why and this is really something that all parents need to consider.)[/quote]
