[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is way too old. You have a greater risk of having a Down Syndrome's baby. My dad was 42 when we were born. It was gross having an older dad than everyone else. Too, it is selfish. You won't be around for your grandkids. Why not adopt a child who needs parents and is already here?[/quote]

The dumbest post ever[/quote]

no - THIS is the dumbest post ever:

[quote]This seems to be the thread that never dies. If you get pregnant at 41 and the baby born at 42, it really, really helps to have excellent health. I think it works better if you are either rich or poor. If you are poor, you can always put the kid to work helping around the house and keeping you company as you age. Not so great for the kid, but oh well. If you are rich, someone else can do the heavy lifting. For a middle class person, saving for college and retirement at the same time can be difficult. Right now for someone in their 40s, college is looking like $1M, and retirement like $2M. That is a lot of saving.[/quote][/quote]
