[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everybody wants kids guys. I don’t think Jen Aniston wasted her prime because I think of Jen Aniston want kids she would’ve had them. Even with infertility, she could’ve done donor eggs and surrogates, adoption, tons of options for the wealthy.

I am enjoying Justin‘s very minor role in running point, but I don’t take him all that seriously and I’m betting they’re not going to have kids and will in a few years.[/quote]

She has publicly stated multiple times that she wanted children. Yes, there are tons of options for the wealthy, but it didn’t work out for her. [/quote]

I feel like there’s some societal pressure, she is America’s sweetheart, to say she wanted kids. come on, if Jen Aniston wanted kids, she would have them. to be like oh it just didn’t work out is silly.

It sounds like she went through IVF maybe with Brad and that didn’t work out. I’ll give you that. But beyond that she has tons of options and we all know it.[/quote]

Beyond societal pressure, there was a very strong media narrative around the time of her divorce from Brad (maybe created by Brad/Angie PR?) That the reason poor Brad had to leave for Angelina was that Aniston didn't want kids. I think she felt the need to counter that. I think she has also said things about her own upbringing like she didn't want to have a kid without a strong marriage and partnership in raising them, which she has definitely struggled to find. Maybe because I relate to this in being kind of ambivalent about kids (I did have them but was on the fence til 40...) but I think she was open to it if she could have the whole family picture with the right guy, but she wasn't going to do things like surrogates or becoming a single mom by choice. Just never wanted them THAT badly in a way a lot of women do. [/quote]

Exactly. She might’ve had them in the right circumstances. But I just don’t like the oh poor pitiful Jen she couldn’t land a man and have a baby narrative that sometimes get posted on this form.

Jennifer Aniston is fine and it seems like she’s created a nice life for herself. She has come out and said there are all kinds of ways to be a mother in this life, through nurturing other people, pets, projects, etc. She certainly seems at peace with it now and we should just let her be.

What is amusing to me is that Angelina Jolie seems to have this narrative…She married and had three bio kids and adopted three kids and look where that ended up. Turns out most of the relationship Brad was a terrible drug and alcohol user, ended up, abusing her and the kids. Now he is completely estranged from the kids and her and they’re still going through a bitter financial battle 10 years in. Feel like Jen got the better end of the deal. [/quote]
