[quote=Anonymous]This is what I did - have kids young while poor. Poverty was not a detriment to my children's well-being, since we were grad students/post-docs and educated enough to prioritize our kids and be good parents. I later become infertile in my mid-30s due to a serious disease, so for me specifically, having kids young was the ONLY option, even though I didn't know it at the time! But we are not Americans. I think that DCUM is populated by the sort of people who cannot abide being poor for any length of time, even for some nebulous better future, or to avoid the risks of infertility later. And indeed, lots of older women have paid for successful IVF! So it's not a one size fits all, and we need compassion and tolerance all around to avoid judging other people's choices. [/quote]
