Um, I hate to break it to you but most women don't wake up at 50 and say: hey! they never told me I couldn't have children at 50 or 60! Even Cosmopolitan Magazine was honest about that. And since most women visit gynecologists on a regular basis who actually harp on reminding women about their window closing, I think you're trying to hand a rubber peach to a gullible child.

I didn’t say anything about 50 or 60 year old women. 50 or 60 years old is FAR from the peak fertility years.

I don’t read Cosmo, but I know plenty of women who whiled away their twenties, and even their early thirties, more concerned about jobs and having fun, and then suddenly found out they probably would not be having children unless they could find a sucker to drop tens of thousands of dollars on fertility treatments. There is a reason why at least half the women around that age carry around tiny purse dogs now, and wear perpetual scowls. They did not think things through.

You can also spot them because they’re the ones who, when other women are talking about their children, loudly talk about how GLAD they are that they chose not to have kids, all the while stealing evil looks at the happy mothers.
