[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over here kind of amused that so many people are “so, so sad” over some women’s choices to have kids in their 40s. I’m over here with my popcorn as a 42 year old thinking about trying for a third. Because I kinda feel like it, and my two toddlers are so cute. I know, I know. Twisted! Selfish! [/quote]

I'm the poster who said I was sorry for another poster's young parents being "immature."  I'm sorry that you are, too.

They're human beings, not puppies or kittens.  You sound like you're ten years old.[/quote]

Funny enough, my husband and I often refer to the kids as “the kittens”.

I prefer “young at heart” but “ten years old” is fine too.  :lol: You are starting to sound kind of gloomy, feeling sorry for all these strangers! I suggest not taking the lives of randoms on the internet so seriously. They don’t care and surely you know you aren’t making a difference in their lives by commenting on their reproductive choices. Deep breaths! Clearly this thread is bringing up all sorts of negative feelings in you. [/quote]

You and your husband both sound a little nutty.  Maybe that's why it took so long for you to find each other?[/quote]

Man, you are really striking out. We met and got together at age 24! Just chose to delay having kids. It was fun being DINKs. But… I will take nutty and immature, over the bitterness you’re spewing all over this thread.

Seriously, why are you so triggered over the choices of people you have never met? I have friends that had kids at 20, friends that are pregnant currently in their 40s, and friends who are child free by choice. It has never occurred to me to feel any type of way about their lives… because it’s not a “one size fits all” decision. I am genuinely curious why you feel the need to squeeze everyone into a neat little box and melt down in the internet when you can’t. [/quote]
