I happen to know that, even as a male, that your prime “career building” years are the same years as those you can be energetic enough to keep up with kids.
These women waiting until their 40’s or 50’s are headed for a huge tired out heartbreak.
Have them young. The Bible doesn’t mention this bit of advice for nothing.
Yes, the biology gets in the way doesn’t it?
The prime fertility of both males and females is when then they are young.
Fertility in both men and women declines as they get older.
There is both the issue of having the energy to keep up with young children, and the issue of your physical capabilities of conceiving children.
Maybe all of this may make us see that traditional families, with a stay at home mother, make sense in ways which people haven’t thought about. Maybe it makes sense for mothers to have children in their 20s, while her husband goes out and works hard in a career to support the family.
I’ve heard so often of people waiting to have children until some goal is reached, or some optimal time in their lives happens.
Yup...at around age 44 I became an instant grandmother to 4 (son married DIL who already had 3 kids...they added one more)...it was exhausting...could not imagine being a parent at that age
