[quote=Anonymous]I actually don't know whether having a child would be a "stupid" decision for your friend and her husband.  I believe strongly that the most important thing for a child is to have parents who love each other and who are committed to putting in the effort it takes to raise a child. There are several benefits to having kids older, including the possible alleviation of professional stress, and the wisdom that comes with life experience.  If your friend and her husband have the time and energy to devote to parenting, their child might be much better off than so many children born into families with parents who cannot get along, who are obsessed with making professional names for themselves, or who simply don't have the true desire for kids that your friend may have.  Through odd flukes for the most part, several of my family members and close friends lost one or both of their parents at young ages.  Even they tell me uniformly that the most important thing to them was their parents having a loving relationship and modeling that for them at a young age.  The age at which their parents died, in the long run, seems to be much less important than other factors.  [/quote]
