[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that having a child around the age of fifty (give or take a year or two) is unfair to the child in many ways.

Since life expectancy is around 80, then there is a chance that you may not be around to be a suitable Grandparent when your child has their own offspring.
Also you will tire easily running after a toddler too.

I am fifty-five + cannot even imagine having a young child at this stage of my life to care for.
My youngest is now 32 which works for me happily.[/quote]

What about women who have their first child at 45? Their number is on the rise.[/quote]

Do you even think before you post? Most women having kids at late ages are not divorced with two young children. It may happen but it’s rare.

Usually it’s a first time mom or an oops baby from the same marriage. [/quote]

Incorrect. The trend shows more and more women having their first child past 40 and some at 45.[/quote]

The average age of first pregnancy in the US is 28, a number that has risen primarily due to a decline in teen pregnancies rather than an increase in AMA pregnancies, at the statistical level. While the number of pregnancies to women over 45 has grown every year since the 1980s, it only went up .2 percent in the most recent data.

Basically, we're talking about VERY low numbers here, and "increases" are often measured in the hundreds. [/quote]
