why would you do this to your child?

whats the problem with old people?

Answer 1

If you work on your genealogy (family history) you will find that women over 30 & 40 have been having kids for centuries. It is nothing new. The question is why are you having such a big problem with it.

Most of the people who are older & having children are better off to take care of them financially. Since they are more active they live longer.

Take a chill pill!

Answer 2

I think up to the age of 40 is fine. Many people today in their 40's and 50's are in better health and much better financial condition than people in their 30's were generations ago. I believe starting in your 50's or 60's is selfish. Then the child will barely know his parents and will never know his grandparents. But you'd be surprised at how many 40 and 50 year olds are keeping up with their teenagers. Also, you are more emtionally mature and settled in your 30's. There has even been a study that showed our brains do not fully mature until the age of 25. The ideal time would be 25 - 30. But pushing 40 would not be a problem.

Answer 3

Once upon a time your arguments were valid. It wasn't that long ago when people didn't hardly make it to their 60's. However today the average life is approaching the 80's and continues to go up. This means that more people can plan to enjoy grandchildren and great grandchildren. It means that they don't have to rush into a marriage at a young age and can take their 20's to find the right job, the right relationship, and enjoy not having the full family responsibility issue dumped on them right out of college. They can now invest their money and be better prepared to deal with the expenses involved in having a family and are more mature. Seems like a lot of positives by waiting a few extra years to me...

Answer 4

I think that if your belief were valid and it was a law that you would have taken the most special thing in my life from me. please look at what I am telling you and if you still think it is stupid it is ok you are entitled to that. Please, http://geocities.com/andy_tayrien/PURELOVE.html
I sure hope you change so you do not miss something this special ever in your life because as it is it does not happen to everyone and to the one's that it does you think it is STUPID?
I think you are a very nice person but have a lot to learn yet and some day you will realize that age is important when you drive, marry, retire and that is about all. Those are the only barriers except for the one's that people like you put up. Open your mind a little and chat with someone that has been there and done that. If that is not enough talk to my 8 and 5 year old and ask them what they think. You might be suprised.

Answer 5

Um yeah, cause most people are too immature to have children when they are younger than that. I am 28 and have not had any kids yet. My mom was 30 when she had me, and now, in her 50's, is very young both mentally and physically. It all depends on the person, how they care for themselves, and how they will care for another.

Besides, 30 is not old, and neither is 40 or 50. People are living much longer these days, and the older you are when you have kids, the more responsable a parent you will be, and you will be in a much better place to support and nourish your child.

So a better question would be, whats the problem with YOU?!?!

Answer 6

Some people just need to wait for financial reasons. A lot of people wait so that they can have kids when they are ready and able to support their child with a house and food and the attention they deserve. My parents started having babies at 33 and I have never had a problem with that. I would much rather have older responsible parents than have a mom that got knocked up when she was 19!

Answer 7

The Bible said Abraham was 99yrs. and Sarah was 90yrs. When they had they first child.Read Genesis Chapter 16,17,18,21.God visit Abraham and Sarah.Sarah laugh when God told her she will have a child in her old age.There nothing impossible with God.Back to what you was saying.It not stupid.You have people who's not ready to settle down with family.Want to finish school.Want to start there career.You have women who trying to have a child and can't or thought they couldn't and later on found out they could.I was that person.I was marry at 21yrs.wanted a child.It was hard on me.My husband and I figure we will never have a child.My marriage didnot work out.I got marry the 2nd time.I have gave birth to 4 beautiful kids. I was 29 when I got pregnant and 30 when I had my daughter.I had my last child at 39yrs.We can have a plan when to start our family but God got the final word.I hope this change your thought how old women have a child.Think about this.Baby are having baby and grandparents are raising them.Don't sound ready to me.P.S. It might not be in there control.

Answer 8

I don't know what you're talking about, I am 40 and can still walk 12 stories and then some several times a day and I'll bet you can barely make one of those trips waithout a break. By the way I smoke too. I have 5 kids, the youngest being two and all of them together have yet to wear me out. Besides, be careful of what you criticize, because it just may happen to you.

Answer 9

I was 33 when I had my second child. My son just graduated from High School this year. I don't have arthritis or any other health problem. I don't regret in the least.

Many ppl wait until they are older because they want to have a career first, or sometimes they don't fall in love or get married until they are older.

Answer 10

The time one chooses to have children is entirely up to them. There would be a lot less child abuse if some parents had waited and didn't combine parenthood with all the difficulties of a young marriage. I had my children in my early twenties and struggled with finances, job changes, moving and being a wife. I feel like I could have been a better mother and wife if I had waited longer to have my children.
