Why would it make you ‘feel sad’? I had my son outside that window, and it doesn’t make me feel in the least bit sad.

Why do you feel sad about someone's opinion.

Have kids when you want to.

Ignore them and have kids when you want

OonaStubbs · 25/01/2026 00:53

30 is definitely not too young.

OonaStubbs · 25/01/2026 00:53

So was my mum, back in the late 1970's.
I broke out early (6 weeks). My mum's health and mine stayed fine.

@Cinema777 "Ideal" time parameters are are given for many biological processes. That doesn't make actions outside of them automatically bad.

It's not "unreasonable" for you to feel however you do.

Different generations, lots of women are going to University, having careers and then settling down, most of my friends had their children in early 30's.
