Not the best idea.

It was difficult for me at 40. But I wanted a child and had lost a baby girl in my 30's. I think the mid-40's should be the definite cut off and the early 30's are the optimal years to have children. Most folks in their 20's are too inexperienced, immature, selfish, and just too plain dumb to have children - I know my parents were.


However, at this late stage in the planet's future, I think it unwise at all now. 😥
But that's for another forum.
