[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In defense of the mother, a lot of young women who want to have children seem a bit too focused on having the perfect home or establishing a career first. The result is many late, high-risk pregnancies, multiple births after expensive IVFs, etc. Every mother of an adult woman has witnessed the heartbreak of other women who've ended up with no children or severely disabled children. Some of their urgings may be motivated by these concerns.[/quote]

As a woman who had suffered from infertility, multiple invasive procedures, multi-cycle treatments and finally IVF, and whose life was made worse by her mother's meddling, I have to say you're totally off base. The mother has no business getting involved in what the daughter decides regarding her own reproductive choices. This is a major boundary crossing and you're justifying it with really flimsy excuses.  [/quote]

You are both right! The mothers of these women should not be "meddling". But giving exact scientific information on a women's peak fertility is necessary sometimes, because that's not given in school. And then it's the women's decision, and their mothers should step aside.
