[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't disagree with this more.  If I married [b]the guy I dated at 27[/b], I'd be divorced and less well off than I am now.  I had so much personal and professional growth between the ages of 27 and 33 (when I ultimately got married).  I am a much better person now for having had that time to find myself.  I would highly discourage my kids from marrying before 30.[/quote]

Do you have children yet? A baby at 27 would have changed you and the father, presumably for the better. Most men don't grow up until they have a kid. Women too. In retrospect I was so selfish and immature before my first.[/quote]

My male cousin was an unemployed loser throughout his 20s. When he got his now wife pregnant at 27, he immediately went back to college (drop out) and enrolled in a nursing school program. 20 years later he makes like $400,000 in hospital administration. The responsibility and pressure of a child forces men and women grow up. All these childless 20 and 30-something men and women suffer from arrested development. It's an epidemic. Traveling, eating out, boozing, and binging on netflix and reality TV makes you shallow, self-absorbed, immature and narrow-minded. We were literally designed to have children in our 20s.[/quote]
please.. look at some of these posts on this forum about how the husband/father is out all night or doesn't lift a finger in the house.

Troll posts and outliers. Overall, a baby forces you to quickly grow up and plan ahead, especially in educated middle class and UMC orbits.[/quote]

Dead wrong. My ex-husband is an attorney and did not lift one finger with children until we divorced and most of my friends have similar situations. Mid 40s. Many men, especially educated ones do not lift one finger with child care if they do not have to when they are married and then the woman end up doing the second shift, and he ends up having one job. These are educated men. [/quote]
