Know so many late 20, early 30 somethings that just are so unbelievably immature for their ages. They are so into the partying, the traveling to exotic places, living for themselves — even if they’re married!
When you mention kids they just gasp and comment that they can “barely take care of themselves,” much less a child. I just have to shake my head.
Hubby and I had two kids before we were 30, and I’m damn glad we did. I’m exhausted at 50 and still raising a 12 year old as well. I would NEVER want to have kids so late in life as these kids will, if they ever hatch.
But will they regret their choices? Who knows ...maybe they will have fond memories of their younger years. I’m glad my own daughter will have her career established before she has children, but she’s going to go through life one tired gal.
My youngest daughter was born when I was 45. It’s perfectly natural, if one is in good health. However, I think many young, or at least younger, people don’t realize that they are making major life choices that are going to have long-term consequences. They’re just going with the flow, doing what others do, telling themselves that they aren’t making choice, don’t have other options.
