[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My prediction:
She puts DH off for a year, then tells him school is too hard and puts it off for another year, then they finally get around to trying at age 35, at which point it takes a while either to conceive or for it to stick, meanwhile she is trying to jumpstart her career...

Maybe she’ll get lucky and get pregnant quickly and he won’t have what it takes to make partner and will end up moving to something more family-friendly, but if she hits 37 before having a baby and he makes partner...he will find someone younger who actually wants a family.[/quote]

Mine: a) she does not actually want kids, just feels like she should and knows her husband does. BAAAD road ahead there; that relationship will not make it. Or b) she will hit a point, soon, where her biological clock (or social circle clock, or both) kicks in, and ahe suddenly DOES want a baby, and stat (and not just in the abstract / claiming she can't wait to be a mom, like she is now). She will realize she's 35 and have a little fertility freakout and want to start NOW. And then she will either half-heartedly try to focus on "the plan" while in reality she drives herself crazy. Or she will decide just to go for it and school / starting out in this new career will take a major backseat as her priorities shift entirely [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with having children 35+. I had my kids at 40 and 42. I got pregnant easily and has super easy pregnancies. You are way to dramatic with having children over 35 stance. You don't sound very bright or well informed.[/quote]
