[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Brunch Granny on this thread?  I need to see the fight between her and 26 Is Too Young.[/quote]

What substances are you abusing? Dp[/quote]

There is a poster that often comes on the site to complain that women are having children too late because they are out enjoying brunch too much in their 20s. She has self identified as a grandmother who had children young which is how she earned the nickname brunch granny. np[/quote]

I’m actually “brunch granny” (which I’ll admits made me lol) and while I’ve seen plenty of dcum people complaining that women have kids too old, that’s not my point nor do I care. I care that one obnoxious poster keeps insisting 26 is too young, and that only have kids later is “appropriate.” It’s just untrue. I had my own kids closer to 30. I spent my twenties living a completely child free existence. My kids are young and I’m only in my mid thirties myself. But I also have mature family and friends with thriving kids and lives who had their children in their mid twenties. You guys live in a bubble if you think only 35 year olds can be good first time mothers. There is something to be said for feeling established enough in your personal and professional life in your twenties, and feeling ready to start a family then, and I have no issue with it. It’s not the same as 18, or 21. It’s a full half decade later.

Not to mention fertility issues, which decry as you will, but are a real thing. I had trouble conceiving in my twenties as did several of my friends. It’s not a reason to try if you’re not ready, but I’m glad time was on my side.[/quote]
