Again, you are equating your circumstances to everyone else. I was already helping raise a family because my mother battled addiction and I had a brother pass away. Kindly go frick yourself.
Um, what the frick do you think you are doing, retard? Your situation didn't warrant it because of issues with your mother and the passing of your brother, I get it. Some people have to do what you have done plus raise their kids. You do you, in the end, that's all that matters.

I’ve agreed with that numerous times. Everyone has different circumstances. How many times do I have to repeat that before you get it through your thick redneck skull?

I take issue with your statement of “you just make it happen, it’s that simple” because it’s not just that simple for everyone, as you’ve seemingly admitted.

Is it “just that simple- get it done” or is it “everyone has different circumstances”?

I know some late parents that are terrible bc their jobs require too much time and they don’t have the energy to keep up

So, if these parents would've had kids in their early 20's they'd still be ignoring what their teenagers are up to, right?

There are terrible parents at all age brackets. What works for some definitely doesn't work for all. For example, my wife didn't finish school until she was 26, should we have popped out kids while she was in school?

You think older people don’t frick up their kids? Bad parenting happens regardless of age


This is a true story.

I guess i’ve just seen it more, personally, with the ones who start pooping out kids in their late teens and early 20s.

Clearly being less mature when raising a kid puts you at risk of fricking up your kids than having kids when you are more mature. Idk how anyone could argue against that.

I’m 26 and the SO and I have agreed not to start having kids until 32/33. Going to fully enjoy all my time while I’m young to travel and knock things off the bucket list before all my money goes to raising kids.


Lol. People still have bucket lists?

Maybe you should wait for your balls to drop before you have kids

I had all 3 of mine before I turned 30, and it is kind of awesome. I can still keep up with them.

My 16 YO is really good at Jiu Jitsu, which is also a hobby of mine. I can still roll with him, and honestly some of my favorite memories are wrestling with him. If I had him at 38, I wouldn't be able to share this with him. Id be too broken down.

My wife went back to school and finished at 28. It would have hindered her emotionally and her career to have gotten pregnant while back in school. Mainly because her particular career choice it would have been virtually impossible to accomplish her assignments while pregnant.

Until you have raised kids, kindly shut your fricking cock holster. You don't know anything other than your experience from which you said you didn't because of other family issues.

I don’t need kids to know a 20-22 year old is less mature than a 30-32 year old. I’m 31. I know what I was like at 21. I can assure you it’s the truth. Do you disagree? Arguing otherwise is idiotic. I’m not surprised, you seem like a grade A dullard.

Although you might be the exception. You seem to be about as mature in your 40s as I was in my early 20s.

That’s such an ignorant mindset. Just because you weren’ mature enough to have kids in your twenties doesn’t mean everyone has. Besides infertility is a HUGE issue many people are finding themselves faced with in their 30s. I’m out practice we see countless women under 35 having to resort to IVF in order to conceive.

Yes, actually it is that simple. Are that obtuse to not understand that? Sink or swim, does that help you understand it better. Also, is everyone's situation the same? No, so what are you fricking arguing about? My kids are doing great and I had them young. Does that mean everyone's will, probably not but if the effort is put in (no matter the age) things usally turn out good. And yes, there are a bunch of frick ups out there who shouldn't be parents.

Your child is more likely to have autism if the mother is over 30.
Also, some people just don't care about the endless materialism, hedonism, and consumerism that plagues American society.
Some people... have a goal... to have a family some day. fricking amazing right? There is more to life than drugs and alcohol?! Who knew?

Are you really going to attempt to argue that 20 year olds are as mature as 30 year olds? I love the go to "you can't comment because you don't have kids". Forget kids, on average is a 20 year old as mature as a 30 year old?

Whoa.

I think i see the problem.. if you had your kid at 38, and he’s 16 now (which you mentioned)- then you’d currently be broken down at the ripe old age of... 54(!) Dude, this isn’t 1963.. if you were even close to broken down at 54 in this century, then you’d either have some disease, or have done absolutely nothing to take care of yourself.

This freaking place.

I agree you have to get it done, of course. The point is you can get it done better when you’re more mature. Anyone having children at 20-22 intentionally is an idiot. If you’re in that group, I think you’re an idiot. It’s that simple.

Some people can retire when they are early to mid 50s and don’t want to have kids in the house when they are retired.
Or you can travel when you are in your 20s. There are pros/cons either way. Don’t really want to be 60 and going to juniors college athletic events.
