Tony T Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Found this interesting article on timing of having children at the MSNBC website. This past week, we had a thread that went into some detail about women's biological clocks. This article warns...women should not wait too long, no matter whether their alarm goes off or not. The article is at: http://www.msnbc.com/news/609335.asp Copy the above web address and paste it into your browser. It has some recent research findings and other interesting facts for those females who are thinking about putting off having children...if they think they want them at some point.

Artlover Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Interesting article, however, we all know that fear is not a particularly smart reason to have a child. I think people have to do what they feel is right for them. I just turned 32 and am single. I feel more than ready for marriage, but children...not yet. Part of it is my career, which has yet to flourish in the way I would like, but more importantly, I'm still too self-absorbed and financially unstable to consider it seriously. Personally, I wouldn't want to have a biological child past 40. In my opinion, after that it just becomes selfish (more patience perhaps, but not as much energy; huge generation gap, etc.). So, I would gladly adopt at that point. To have a biological child before one is ready is just silly. Once you do it, you can't take it back. And being a parent is FOREVER. Anyone who thinks it's over at 18, is just fooling themselves. Found this interesting article on timing of having children at the MSNBC website.
