[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find both men and women, but especially women (probably since they do the majority of child care) look soooooo much older if they had kids young. Not just compared to their childless peers- but when they get older and things have equalized, the ones who had kids young just look more haggard to my eye. Generalizing, of course.[/quote] Yikes lady. Feeling insecure and trying to justify your own choices much? This is objectively not true [/quote] Shrug. It's what I've seen, time and time again. But... to each their own. [/quote] You are clueless. As a woman who became a parent in my 30s, having kids older wrecks absolute HAVOC on an older person. There is no comparison. My niece recently had a baby at 23 (5 months ago) and we just got back from the beach where she was parading around in her bikini, but cheeks barely covered. Not a single inch of lose skin or flab. Young bodies bounce. Young bodies are biologically designed to bear children. You will not find a single older mother who will tell you that having kids at an older age will perserve your looks. It's the absolute down fall into rapid middle age. [/quote] Not talking about bodies, really, talking about overall youthfulness and specifically the appearance of the face. [/quote] Oh dear god, how i wish this were true! I grew up out west and women in my town got married and had babies early. Boy, was there a striking difference at my HS reunion between those of us who were still changing diapers and those whose kids were in high school. It was us older moms who looked more rough for the wear:-( And ive taken great care of my body and skin, but wowsers, babies in my late 30s was rough :cry: [/quote]
