>>I wonder when "wait to have kids" starts to become bad advice.
It already is, but people try to balance to the best they could--given today's reality (Congrats! You're 22 but no money and no "good father material" so...wait).
Our genes weren't developed in the last 4 decades where women work and seek careers and then think of having children. It's not sexist or misogynistic, it's the reality of our genes. 22 is a woman's best age to have kids. The more you postpone, greater are the problems, even for the children. Pregnant women over 35 have/had to do the Down Syndrome echo. Why? Because women over a certain age are more likely to have children with issues. This may apply to men as sperm cells have had, say 50 years, to screw up the copying or to get damaged.
- ianai 8y agoThe “quote” from someone is along the lines of “The most valuable person to society is a young woman. The least valuable person to society is a young man.” As a man, I experienced that quite acutely. Still do though now I “have more to offer” and I sometimes feel like I’m being valued more than I was in the past. It’s hard to tell through the years of abuse and bullying. We live in a dysfunctionally sick culture.
