[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kind of, but the reality is accidents happen, and birth control doesn't work 100% of the time. I've been telling my kids since they were young they are not to become parents until at least age 30, so they have time both for their brains to fully develop AND have a few years with those fully formed brains to experience adult life. So they know to get an abortion. [/quote]

You know that you don't have that kind of control over your adult children's decisions?

Yeah that’s intense and weird.  Did you also tell them about the risks of waiting to have kids - fertility issues, miscarriage risks, etc.?   They can only have a baby between 30 and 35?  That’s a narrow window![/quote]

Who said only between age 30-35? Cite it. [/quote]

That PP is pointing out that there are all kinds of risks planning to have kids after 35 that a parent really shouldn’t encourage that either. Pretty sure it was a tongue-in-cheek comment.

Anyway anyone who thinks having kids in your mid-late 20s is a bad idea an idiot. Sure, some people can’t get their life together early enough to pull it off, but for those of us who could, there is only upside. [/quote]
