[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why the average age of first time moms in DC is 38. Lots of women spend a decade working on their careers, paying off all debts, building lots of equity in homes, and THEN having children. [/quote] That is sad[/quote] This isn't sad. Had a baby at 36 and another at 41. I fail to see the sadness in it. Had a great time in my younger days and am now financially able to afford the both of them. [/quote] It is great when you can have a child at any age and afford to take care of them. What is sad is that the age 38 is way past a woman's peak fertility yet women feel that having a child needs to be put off until all these other life goals are attained. It is like Facebook now paying to freeze women's eggs. This will only put more pressure on women to feel that if they have children in their 20's or early 30's they are missing out on the race to the top. [/quote]
