Intentionally having a baby in your senior years takes a special kind of immature... I only have one kid; I had him when I was 21. I *wanted* another one, but once I hit 36, that was my personal cut off. When I was a kid my parents were the "older" parents and I HATED it; it was embarrassing and I swore I'd never do that to a kid. But at least they were young enough to know they'd still be around (likely) to see MY kids... People get older but they don’t always grow up.

I know. It's harsh. But for every 13 year old girl that wants a baby because she thinks it'll be like playing with a doll... for every 23 year old woman who is having her 8th kid and doesn't know who her baby daddy is, but knows someone's gonna hafta pay... and for every ancient Methusulah who thinks they want to have a baby so they still feel like a woman... urgh. We just want to have a baby because we have so much love to give, and we'd love to shower it on a little one. Apparently, sometimes that's not enough.
