Why anyone would want to wait until they’re older and tireder to have children is beyond me. Not to mention having a decreased chance of seeing grandchildren, especially if the middle-aged new mom raises a daughter who waits until middle age to start a family. Toss in the current trend of shorter life spans, and grandmas will become name-only relatives.
Many years ago I was at a high school reunion, one of my classmates was living in Mexico, in some cartel city (for some reason that I can only speculate on)
in any case he was telling me that he had this girl and was undecided on having children.
I am like umm, you had better do it now if you think you might want some
I tried to tell him why, but he said he had heard it all from his mom, friends, jefe etc.
I said I don’t know what their reasons are, but do you really want a teenager when you are 60 or 65 ?
maybe I will see him again in a few years and find out/
