[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's really about what you decide now, since the most hostile comments are likely from 30- and 40-somethings closing in on the end of fertility. It's more about your posture moving forward. Instead of admitting your were bamboozled, made mistakes and squandered years of your life, you double down and encourage other young women to follow in your lonely, regretful, and unfulfilled rootless footsteps, as if you seek to create more victims to join you.[/quote]

How come you are all ignoring the comments from all the happy moms who easily had kids in their 30s and 40s and only responding to the single person on here who didn’t have kids? Because we don’t fit your narrative? I partied my 20s away and then had kids when pushing 40. Easily.
No IVF.  So did most of my friends here in DC.

So. Give your argument some teeth. Show me some stats that women in their 30s who partied are less likely to marry and start families. The internet tells me the following about fertility (source is NHS):

- aged 19 to 26 – 92% will conceive after 1 year and 98% after 2 years
- aged 35 to 39 – 82% will conceive after 1 year and 90% after 2 years

So where’s the “end of fertility”? Looking forward to your sources. But…  Bet you won’t respond because this doesn’t fit the anti-brunch narrative. [/quote]

Ha! You killed the thread with facts.[/quote]

She ignores every comment from the MANY, many posters (including myself) who have said that they are very happy with their trajectory in life that included tons of travel, time building lifelong friendships, higher level education, becoming stable and affording themselves later flexibility in their careers and yes, having FUN that they had in their younger years who are now happily married with kids choosing to bill the "haters" as "lonely spinsters with barren wombs." She's also all over the "women's reproductive choices" thread crowing in that "the most important thing is you won't be either a cute young mom, you'll look old and not cute (I'm paraphrasing, this is the gist...) and all your friends from college reunions will be empty nesters." Which is just...not true. Not in my orbit. I don't see it. Maybe this is rural Utah?

I want to know 1)where Brunch Granny lives that there are tons of "cute 22 year old moms", because it is NOT DC or any major city 2) Why "looking old" is "the most important thing" to have kids young 3) How stunted developmentally you have to be to place priority on any of that!

And yes, as a PP said, I feel bad for Granny's kids. I can't imagine the pressure to look at every relationship from 16 (13?) on as husband and father material to be ready to procreate by 21 with no desire to ever be an independent adult. [/quote]
