Bingo. I tire of all this blame the woman.

I hear here also bemoaning how OLD women are having children. Well, some of us are moral and choosy, and once one reaches 30, it’s really hard to find a mate as the pool shrank so much with many of them already married. So, sometimes we are really old by the time we finally meet someone. Then we keep it closed until married. Then wait a bit. Before long I am 38 by the time my son comes along.

Not everyone is “selfish” who has a kid late.

It is the natural thing for a healthy woman with a healthy husband to have children into her 40s, no matter what age she married. I was 45 when my youngest was born, and there's every indication that I could have a baby at 48. (However, I'm not pregnant right now.)

What's wrong is the idea that a healthy married couple has an obligation NOT to have children, just because of somebody else's prejudices, "You have too many. You're too old. I could never do that!"

Okay, fine. You (rhetorical you) could never do that. You're not as awesome as me!
