[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a biologist, I wish more people understood that fertility peaks in your early 20s. Emphasis on early. However, that is too young for many people to have a stable source of income without depending on a spouse, parents or the government. We should not encourage people to have kids they cannot support. It's a case of biology vs. economics. [/quote] I am 42. My daughter is 16 and was an accident. I was absolutely NOT mature enough to have her when I did. I wish I could have waited until around 38 or so. That's when I felt like I really had a handle on being an adult I felt good about, not just faking it by doing adult things. Never mind that I was on welfare and food stamps and DD has food insecurity.[/quote]
