[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a bad life choice  for decades. I know plenty of women who had kids in their 20's that had deep regrets in their 40's and 50's. No news here.[/quote]

How can it be a bad life choice to have children when you're biologically at your peak AND you make enough money to easily support them?>

OP said she was making 200k at 26, which is a great income for mid twenty somethings. One can only assume their income rose from there...[/quote]

It's not just about lack of money. [b]Your 20's are the time you should be having freedom and [b]fun,[/b] start a career and find who you are...and mostly growing up into a real adult. [/b]It's  hard to do any of these things with a baby.

This makes it very clear that you associate career with identity. Which is fine. My career is very much tied to mine. But there's no mandate that everyone be like that. Lots of people have kids in their 20s, and still manage to live full, rich, successful lives by a variety of measures. And I would also argue you can do much of that with a baby..just not much of it past 11pm, which...why does one *need* that?

Not to mention that kids can be really fun! I don't miss late nights and bar hopping at all [/quote]
