[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we so concerned if they’re getting married in their 20s? Statistically they are much less likely to divorce if they marry at 30+.

DC is generally populated with highly educated intelligent people but these recent threads really belie that - parents, grab a brain and stop thinking it’s a negative that your kids aren’t getting married and procreating under 30. if they do, you’ll be on here in 10 years, lamenting their blended family situation with the grandkids because the marriages won’t last.

50% of women who turn 30 without a child will remain childless. [/quote]

And? 50% is a coin toss, for one thing. And, having children is not for everyone, nor dies it define a woman’s worth nor value of her life experience. Have we not come further in society that we value women as more than breeders, and assume that’s all they want to be? I guess not, based on this thread. It’s all “lock down the high earning and good looking men early.”

It honestly doesn’t sound much different than it would have if internet message boards had existed in the 1950s — “better lock down those doctors and lawyers while they're in grad school girls, or you’ll have to settle for a poor, ugly, crazy guy once you’re in your 30s or GASP you might not have children, and then your life will be meaningless.”

Sad that it’s 2024 and this is still the message young women are getting. It’s a lot of what’s wrong with society. [/quote]
Most childless women did not plan to be childless. Most childless women are childless because they could not find a partner before their fertility window closed. If you are 30 and unwed you are really cutting it close to the wire, unless you're ok with single motherhood by choice. [/quote]
