One big negative about older parents is they die when you are relatively young. definitely grand parents. But, also Aunts and Uncles.
She better hope that whatever distorted thinking or mind control she applies to this kid sticks, because if it don’t…
Seems to be dependent on men to jump start egg production, egg collection, fertilizer, storage, implantation, delivery, technology, power, build houses, HVAC, ….
But no men made anything possible for her. Damn strong woman to do all that and all the “drywall” work too. Nobel prize level independence from men.
Idiot Barbie.
Not interested.
I think she needs to look into cloning
“Real estate magnate” sounds way cooler than the more descriptive “timeshare company manager” that appears later in the article. I also don’t really know how “I don’t need a man” comes across from someone who clearly needs someone on a regular basis waiting around to photograph her posing in public locations with full hair and makeup.
Not settling works both ways, and the type of man who made it into his late 30’s without “settling” also has a rather particular list of features he’s looking for in a lady, and I can promise that spending the first twenty minutes after arriving at any location taking a bunch of posed pictures for his lady friend isn’t on that list.
“I always said that I’d have a child by 39 so that gives me two years.”
She may find that human biology doesn’t work on her timetable.
“...and women succeeding in business,’
But not in biology.
I pity her cats.
“I’d prefer my child to have a great father and male role model, which is why I held off.”
You were too picky and you waited until your best years were well behind you. A man looking to start a family is not going to go for a 37 year old woman. 27 yes. 37 No.
This notion that women can’t get pregnant in their 40’s is nonsense.
Many generations of women have had babies in their 40’s.
Many of my family members and friends were born to mothers in their mid-40’s.
Many women I knew in my generation also gave birth in their mid- to late 40’s, but NOT with IVF. They had surprise pregnancies.
Usually, couples try to avoid pregnancy in those years, but not because pregnancy isn’t possible.
The only couples I’ve ever known who had trouble conceiving were having trouble in their 20’s.
