I feel a little triggered by this post.

Well, this post is kinda infuriating to some. It’s one choice to have a baby at a young or old age. No one has the right to criticize one.

If u tell people you don't have kids, they attack, whaaat u don't have kids!! That's been my experience!!

I wonder if, rather than coming from a place of insecurity, this was actually a response to a negative comment about younger mothers. It may have been said entirely in jest. I had my children young. I'm now twice as old as my 19 year old. Both of mine were unplanned but I was 19 when I had Midi, and 24 when I had Mini. Apart from being a mother, I've looked after other people's children and was involved in various childcare and education for over 20 years. In all that experience, there is no better age to be a parent. There are some great younger parents, some great older parents. And there are some not so great parents in their 20s, 30s, 40s... I love that I can enjoy things with my teens. But I'd like to think I'd still be doing the same if I had them later in life! I sometimes feel I was a better parent to the eldest as I am to the youngest. I could spend a lot more time with Midi than with Mini. That was nothing to do with my age but the circumstances at the time. When someone judges a parent on their age, I think of a friend of mine. She had 5 children. 3 of them, she was very young when she had them. Those three were adults when she had her younger two. She may have a little more experience but she's still the same parent. I don't understand why anyone would attack someone on the basis of the age they had children. Or on whether or not they have/want children.

I had my first baby at 36. Yes, we were "older", but at least we were in a better place in our lives to have a family. I graduated college, dated, partied, had a lot of alone time with my husband, had a career, basically got to live our adult youth they way we wanted to. By the time we did start a family I was ready to give it my all. I personally know some moms who had their babies much younger than me . . . not all, but some are struggling with going back to school to get a career, having a job to support their schooling and family, all while taking care of their kids and families. And they wish they could go out, travel, and do what they missed out on in their 20s because they were the ones with a newborn, changing diapers and making bottles at 2am .

My first expression after reading your post is hahahaha Not because I disagree, but because I agree to it strongly and yes women hate each other a lot. I think women don't really understand women well, else there would be lot more support for women in our society. We expect men to treat us well, when women themselves aren't treating us with dignity. Now to talk about young women, i think its just the matter of choice until you aren't forcing other women to do so.

Insecurities, jealousy,and uncontented life might be, everyone should be happy to what others accomplishments.

I am a grandma and do all of that. Some days I wish I had waited to have my kiddos other days I am glad I had them early and can enjoy my grandkids. People who say that crap to other people kind of piss me off . It is a personal choice how early or late we have our children . A person never knows what someone else's circumstances are.

Where did that cone from? And anyway who cares? Of course there are advantages and disadvantages to every situation : )

It's not bad to have kids nor bad not to have one. It's what one makes do with their time that counts; with or without children. Although I suppose young moms can be inexperienced in certain areas, but they grow with the experiences as well. As for those who don't have one, life can still be fun in so many ways.

Its only about choice. Varies from one to another.

I had my first kid at 19 and I think it would’ve been better if I waited, it wasn’t planned but it wasn’t prevented. I personally think it’s better when you are older because you have my knowledge of life and can possibly support your child more. People, especially women, need to stop judging each other so much.
