Call me old fashioned, whatever.
If you think waiting until a woman is over 35 ... upwards to 60 (no kidding, there are those who have!!) before getting pregnant, you are NOT old fashioned - you are part of the new thinkers that believe a woman doesn't have to have children in their twenties.
Myself and all of my friends had mothers who were in their early twenties when we were born. I had my children well before 30. I think that is more old-fashioned than your thoughts.
Here's a little material on age and having babies ....
Originally posted on Psychology Todays's blog:
If you're in your twenties or thirties and don't have kids, a buzz of unspoken questions about your childbearing decisions might have hovered around your Thanksgiving table last weekend. Next time the would-be grandparents in your family start wondering about your plans, it will be helpful to have some ammo about what scientists are saying about what the "best age" is to have a baby.
Their answer depends, in part, on what you mean by "best."
The late teens or early twenties are "best" biologically, according to John Mirowsky, a sociologist at the University of Texas at Austin. That's when "oocytes are fresh and the body's reproductive and other systems are at a youthful peak," he wrote. Women in their twenties are least likely to have developed chronic health problems that would put them or their babies at risk, and they have the lowest rates of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, and infertility. But early pregnancy doesn't work well in today's society, which is organized around smaller families and more full-time employment for women. If pregnancy occurs too early, social difficulties often follow. At age 20 or younger, Mirowsky wrote, pregnancy is "more likely to happen out of wedlock, more likely to interfere with educational attainment, and more likely to crystallize a disadvantaged status."
I think most women have two choices when it comes to wanting to have children:
1. Have them young ... you'll have lots of energy and not so set in your ways to deal with the ever changing needs of young children going into the fun teenager years.
2. Wait to have children until you are set in your career, have some money and feel you have much more worldly experience to raise your children.
Neither are right or wrong. There are drawbacks to each ... and it's very personal.
Personally, I am very happy that I had my children in my mid-twenties .... I'd be too freaking tired to raising young children in my 40's ... I'd be spending my money on Boarding School!!

Very true but if you ask someone from scotland if they are British i'm pretty sure they will say no i'm Scottish and i guess the Irish and the Welsh would also correct you
You are correct, no doubt about that!
this is what I was referring to:
Britain (and thus the adjective British) refers geographically to the whole of the island on which England, Wales, and Scotland lie. By extension, when the United Kingdom held onto the northern part of Ireland, they too were subjects of the British Empire. (It was a British empire, where the English were the dominant partners of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
With my background as English and Irish, I understand the difference. If I hear someone say, I am a British ex-pat - I just know they are from the UK ... not which part of the UK.
As for accents .... British to me (and perhaps to many others) is a blur of what part they are referring to ... do they mean English? And when we start the accents of the British Isle ... well, it varies greatly from Cornwall to Manchester to Blackpool and beyond - including the different dialects from village to village.
Just my two-bits worth ....

I had a nice watch, but it was always losing time. I had it in at the watchkeeper a number of times, paying for new batteries again and again.
It started driving me insane, always KNOWING it was wrong, fixing the time every other day or so.
One afternoon, I was driving in my cabrio and I was annoyed .... So I took it off and threw it. (the top was down! hehehe)
Ahhhh ... that felt so good!!

I can't really remember what life was like when I wasn't a parent.
You go into parenthood with an "idea"(I was in my early 20's - so did I really have a clue???) ... yet it blows your mind when years later, you wanna yell that it was false advertising!! LOL .... BUT we survived this incredible job and responsibility - and we wouldn't change it for almost anything!!
