[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand this thread, but then I'm a foreigner and most of us did marry our college sweethearts and had kids in our late 20s.

I take it Carlson is a Nasty Right-Wing person, therefore whatever comes out of his mouth is automatically trash, and we must deride it?

Because looking at the infertility forum, some women are experiencing heartbreak waiting to have kids later in life. It's not about grandkids or brunch. It's about having kids without spending a fortune in invasive and painful treatments.

But yes, I agree it'd be funny if such a commentator, or his wife, pored over DCUM threads.

I had kids young--26 and 29--and there is nothing inherently better about it. I missed out on being able to focus on my career with no kids to worry about, it was extremely hard to go on fun trips without kids and I haven't gone on many, I didn't go out to lots of bars and clubs and have lots of fun with girlfriends (I know people say that bars and clubs with girlfriends aren't anything special, but I never got them out of my system!), etc.

And the brunch thing is just bizarre because that is definitely something you can do at any age! My kids are older now so it's easy to leave them at home and go to brunch with friends and DH, or just take them with us. And that's what's so delightfully absurd about Brunch Granny and what Carlson is saying. To say brunch has anything to do with marrying and having kids is just hilariously wrong.

Also I got pregnant when I was 37 and on birth control. I terminated that pregnancy, but still, it's not like lots of people can't get pregnant easily after they have had a chance to live a little in their twenties. [/quote]
