I dont think people who have kids later mourn their past life but the contrary they’re ready for it because they’ve done it all at that point and are ready for the next phase

I was talking about this recently, I feel like the sense of self is so strong the older you get. When you have kids, no matter when, the first few months drastically have you questioning life and the self. At a younger age you’re still trying to find that inner self, and becoming a parent also becomes a part of your sense of self, possibly easier because there may not be as much substantial core values yet.

This does actually totally make sense. I had my first at 18. It was a transition but I didn’t know adult life prior. Granted I feel 20 would have been better. I’d have been slightly more prepared.

Had my first at 28, holding my newborn as I tripped this, at 39. Having kids alters your brain. It’s beautiful and easy in the hardest way 💕🥰

This makes sense to me because I’m 29 and the thought of having kids now when I’m set in my ways is scary to me.

This actually makes a lot of sense. The older I've gotten, the less I want to have kids 😅

I say this all the time to my husband, we were 22 so not super young.We adjusted so well and we didn't miss anything about our life before. We are enjoying things we couldn't do now and it's so fun, our teens get to experience a lot because we are close knit and we don't need a break from them.They are great kids and so glad life happened this way for us.

I think that’s partly why my husband and I have realized we may not want kids now….

easier on the parent maybe but what about the kid? wouldn't the kid be better off with a more established parent? no shade at all just the other side of the coin

I hear you but as a 28 year old mom who got married and had a baby in my early twenties, I genuinely think it is as hard as it is for some people because they are realizing AFTER having a child that if they didn’t accidentally get pregnant they wouldn’t have had children. I see women of all ages feeling that way but it is more prevalent in women I know who had children between 16-20.

I totally agree! People say they don’t feel “ready” for kids in their 20s, they don’t feel like they’re mature enough, etc., but the truth is you’re never “ready”… parenthood is something you just have to be thrown into and you have to adapt… sink or swim. Like being given the immense responsibility of having a kid forces you to BECOME “ready” and “mature”. You can’t become the perfect parent before having kids lmao

I hear what you are saying but I also think it’s important to remember that not everyone is able to have kids young for many reasons. Whether it’s fertility issues or maybe they didn’t met the right person when they were younger and is still looking. I know you didn’t mean it like this but sometimes I feel like society and some young moms. Make it seem like if didn’t have your kids young then. But you have the desire to be a mom but you are you older than you should just forget it. No hate towards you just my thoughts

I disagree, I think parenting overall is hard no matter the age because it’s a big change regardless. I feel like I was able to enjoy my twenties and not feel that “longing for freedom” that a lot of young parents experience. Also just for me I don’t think I was emotionally stable enough at a younger age, I was too selfish for a child I’m glad I waited

Yes very true . That’s why women are pushed to have kids the younger the better. So it consumes you.
