[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience women get judgmental when they are triggered by jealousy or their own insecurity. My guess is any woman out there that is upset by a 40+ woman having a baby falls into one of these categories: 1.) Infertile herself 2.) Regrets not having another baby 3.) Had babies much earlier in life and misses having a baby/little kid Anyone else would be happy for an expecting mom at any age. [/quote] Theres a 4.) I’ve seen a lot in my workplace, I had mine at 34 so this is observation only. The women who had their babies at 25-35 weren’t in very senior roles. They had to fight for nursing room privacy and make do with whatever daycare options and parental leave they could afford. They were by and large mommy-tracked. The women over 40 are Director level and above, with private offices, night-nannies and their kids will go to private school. Even if the younger moms are now in those Director jobs as well they resent seeing people have it “easier” than they did and pick a reason to tear them down. [/quote] x10000 The younger moms sacrificed their careers because of the great fertility lie and they're big mad about it. [/quote] Spoken from a perspective that careers and money are the most important objectives in life. Not all women feel that way and think family time is most important. [/quote] Older moms don't have less family time; their family time is just shifted later in life. And they can afford the homes, vacations, education, and extras that make that time more enjoyable.
