i am 20 years old and have a lil girl she is my only child. and my husbands dad and new wife had a baby 3 weeks before me. they are 43. and i feel that i am a better mother, i play with my daughter all day and i breast feed, i am more patiant. and there child is slow. she is almost 11 months old and cant crawl or talk or anything, so they are thinking something is wrong with her. so i dont think you should have kids over 38 if you cant handle something being wrong. but i think the big thing with me is if other women over 40 want to have kids good for them, i am just upset that my step mother in law had a baby the same time as me. i got pregnant first!!! and she had her baby premature. and she doesnt breast feed so she can drink. they both go out and take there baby and drink and drive. and it just upsets me, i have babysat before and all there child wants to do is sit infront of the t.v. and if i turn it off she screams untill its back on because thats all they do with her. they even said after having there child that they were to old to be parents.
but what really ticks me off is they dont act like grandparents because they have there own baby and they want my daughter to call there child auntie and she is only 3 weeks older. i think that they are all a bunch of freaks. so from my experience i dont think women over 40 so have kids.
