[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People on this board so blithely say that people can have kids into their 40s. I mean, obviously they can. But it's so, so sad. None of the kids of such people have grandparents (or won't have them for long). And those people won't be involved with their grandchildren in turn. It's a crazy huge cultural shift that no one acknowledges.

It's more than just about grandparents, too. You're setting your children up to lose you so young. It's impossibly twisted and I wish people would think twice about having kids so late. But this board is all sunshine and roses, even for 45 yos (!!). [/quote]

:roll: Might as well just shoot yourself if you're not done having kids by 35.

Mind your own business. People used to live to the ripe old age of 50 not thag long ago. Now we're pushing 85 on average for the DCUM demographic. That's a long life. Anyone can die younger of course. My maternal grandma died at 35 (breast cancer), DH's dad died at 50 despite having DH at 25. Everyone else reached very old age.

There are no guarantees in life and your way isn't the only way to live.[/quote]
