Based on your responses, obviously they are not from a person who is compassionate in this category or life or of one who tries to walk in the other person's shoes. For you to say selfishness is a reason for older people to have children is completely ridiculous.
But I am done discussing this with you. I won't waste my time with you. It seems you have like debating with people on all your threads lately.
There are certainly worse things than being raised by a parent who adores you, even if you lose that beloved parent early...they gave you love, they gave you life....I don`t see that as selfish.
Heck my grandmother was adopted by an elderly childless couple....probably close to the age of the woman mentioned....she was doted upon, a blessing to be cherished...
There is something to be said for more *mature* parents...they have their heads aon alot better than many couples when they start their family.
I have seen many married couples that treat their kiddoes like burdens.....two parents isn`t the magical key to childhood happiness.
My Mom did a pretty damn good job by herself when my Dad left.
song, my post wasn't directed at you at all. i hope you read this. (i think my father might be dying. that's what i had on my mind last night. i'm sorry it seemed like i was talking to you. i was not.)
Aleta St. James obviously has quite a substantial cash flow as well as clients to insure her twins are well taken care.
just a thot

Oh my my, never thot that at all!!! I just exited the thread and that's all... i thot~~~
I was cruising this thread last night and saw your reply to me.
"I'll check this out later. Did I say something offensive?" I said to meself last night~~~ for it was becomeing fast past my dreams.
And here I am NOW and read the thread again and nopper I said nothing offensive. And Nopper EXC did I think your post was directed at me.
If it were , I would thinks we would have a peace pipe smoking for sure!!!
I have empathy with you concerning dying dads. I had one say later on this year.
Pray tell how are you EXC?

...if there is only one breath left, what else is there to say?...
I wonder a lot of things about this woman! But we shouldn't be judging her.
I wonder inside my own head, what could I do if I were she, and there's lots of things I think I would rather do than raise twins, but then, I'm not her.
I know a number of young couples we used to traditionally think were of child bearing potential, and they're not postponing children, they don't seem to want them...various reasons apply.
What concerns me a whole lot more than a woman of her age wanting and bearing children is what appears to be a disproportioal distribution of the children that are born!
It seems that very young unmarried women have a larger proportion of babies than older couples who are financially and domestically (by tradition) apparantly better prepared. The repercussions on society are probably obvious.
