Start respecting life and you won't have that problem.
That came across as very harsh. Many woman who do wait do respect life. Some respect it so much that they are willing to wait and bring a child into this world when they really are able to care for them mentally, financially, emtionally, and so forth.
It’s very hard for young woman nowadays especially where I’m from. (NYC) You have all this pressure from others and even worse, yourself to be successful and you want that greatly as well as maybe eventually a companion and a child. I feel bad for this lady.
I think about this often. I’m only 25 but I see where she is coming from. My mother got married and had her first child at 20 and me at 42!! (I was a very late baby lol.) My sister got married and had her first kid by 19. I’m the first woman in my family to be 25, not married, no children, and not really dating anyone seriously. It didn’t bother me before but it does a little now, only slightly though.
I use to take pride in this but not so much anymore because honestly................I don’t see myself getting having kids for another 10 years. I’m still young and I LOVE children, more so than most people but there is so much I need to do first. Is it so wrong to want to have certain things settled before you decide to have a child/make sure it can have a life that it deserves?!
Why bring a child into this world at 25 instead of 35 when I/my partner will be more secure in all areas.
My mother use to say to me no big deal you’re young. However earlier this year I told her that I had no intentions of having kids until I was 35 and she sees by my dating habits/personality that it is most likely true. Now she has stopped all her no big deal talk and has begun dropping hints of wanting a GRANDBABY?!?!??!! (She has 2 by my sister who is 46 but wants one from me eventually) Having a best friend who is 26, married and has 4 kids doesn’t help then situation. My mom once criticized her for her decision, but now praises her!!!!! WTH!!!?!?!
She had me a 42 in 1983 and the doctors gave her hell for it. She says having kids younger is better yet she wants me to be as successful as I can be. I’m not the only 25 year old going through this struggle. I know many girls that are.
It’s rough.
