[quote=Anonymous]21:44PP - I'm the one that posted that.  It's totally cool that you chose to wait to have kids - nothing wrong with doing that.  Some of the earlier posters on this thread seem kind of gleeful at the idea that there are women who waited on purpose for what they consider shallow reasons (like building a good relationship with the spouse and getting a career in order or just feeling more ready) because some of those women then had trouble conceiving.  I dislike the idea that everyone should fit one mold (whether it's have kids early or have kids late) and feel bad about whatever choice they made.

My post was more about my own personal circle - which is large.  I don't know many people who waited very long to have kids once they met their husband, unless they met him very young.  The only couples I know who waited more than a few years after marriage did so because of issues conceiving or circumstances that made starting a family undesirable.  I was pointing out that for some of us, the choice to have babies later was made for us, because we didn't meet the guy until later, but that most of us manage to be fine with that.[/quote]
