Having a child under 30 - wasting your life.

Ok ok ,maybe 28 would be the minimum,30-33 being a perfect age.

All these single mothers at 18-19 ,the majority of them didnt mean to get pregnant.

You have your school years,then third level education or you enter the job market and try to get yourself in a position to earn a living and forge a decent career for yourself,something that is very important.Having a child at such a young age puts these things on hold.

Growing up, its easy to tell which girls will have a child as soon as they get a chance,its usually the girls from the estates,the ones who wear PJs to the shop,the ones who come from single parent familys themselves,the ones who get a name as being easy,if you get what i mean.

Travel becomes near impossible or very hard at least,kids suck the life from you.

Every baby looks the same the first few weeks.

I love kids,but i also value my life and i wouldnt have a child until i am some way financially stable and have some direction in life.

If you want to move out of home and dont want to pay 150-200 a week on rent,have a child and the the social will give you a house,then proceed to allow the father/bf to live there with you,the entire county is doing this.

Reading that post is like watching an episode of "Lost". Despite multiple viewings I still don't have a bogs notion whats going on in it.

Well another way to look at it OP is that they're trying to get through all the difficult stuff while they have more energy, so they can chill from their fifties onwards. Seems like a decent idea to me.

Out of curiosity, how does making a typo make you any less mature? Where's the irony in Tasha's post? I don't get it.

What IS immature, however, is picking up on someone's every little mistake, even something as simple as a very-commonly-made typo.

You don't sound like the kind of person I'd want to know, Kaneda, and that's been nice about it. I despise snobs.

Its ok, calm down, i realise that you must have just come out of the (good) living room having received a lecture from daddy on how not to live your life.

Ask him for a few quid so you can head to Dundrum, you really need to vent to this to your freinds. Like Oh my gawd !

She was sneering at his post and commented that her baby could "right" better than him.

Now do you get it?

Yes it puts these things on hold but not necessarily for a very long time, having a child in the middle of your career puts advancement on hold for the same amount of time. I know a girl who finished her degree, had a child and within a year had a job in her chosen field ( at a time when jobs aren't easy to come by).

Growing up, its easy to tell which girls will have a child as soon as they get a chance,its usually the girls from the estates,the ones who wear PJs to the shop,the ones who come from single parent familys themselves,the ones who get a name as being easy,if you get what i mean.

Is this the reason you don't have a kid OP, you could tell what girls were going to get pregnant and you avoided them?

Whatever about travel, I know people who would tell you the opposite about kids sucking the life out of you.

I love kids,but i also value my life and i wouldnt have a child until i am some way financially stable and have some direction in life.

Fair enough can't argue with that.

If you want to move out of home and dont want to pay 150-200 a week on rent,have a child and the the social will give you a house,then proceed to allow the father/bf to live there with you,the entire county is doing this.

Solid advice :pac::pac:

I am a mother of three, and my 11 year old son could right a post with more maturity than the op.... condecending and patronising, and I really hope the op doesnt have any kids, for a long long time, and when he/she does, he/she comes back on the this thread and reads exactly how ignorant and immature he/she was.

I hate little condecending twits. So yeah, defo dont breed.

*write a better post.

You had kids young, didn't you?

I've achieved more goals in life since having kids. That's with less money, less time, less sleep...etc, etc...

I knew what it meant, it just went hand in hand with my perception of the poster that I just had to point it out. My bad, dude, my bad. :pac:

Giving birth at any age is bringing life into the world. So I dont think its fair to refer to it as wasting life.

I had my 4 children when I was aged between 20 and 28. So happy I had them young because I'm now aged 37 and can sit back and relax while my friends and sisters are demented running around after their young kids.

There is no law that says you can't have the career or travel when the kids are reared. I'm now in my final year of a science degree and sure I may not backpack for a year but I'm for definite gonna have some nice holidays in a few years! (without small screaming children:D)

Advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios, having kids young or old tbh...

The OP left out plenty of apostrophes and spelled 'families' wrong. Therefore if you're going to equate maturity with spelling then that post wasn't any less mature.

No. She made a typo. She said her son could "right" a better post with more maturity. A typo is not a sign of immaturity or even a sign that her son can't write well. I still fail to see the irony here...maybe you'll have to explain it slower.

getting right and write mixed up is not a typo

It isnt actually. Many people put zero thought into having a child because they're safe in the knowledge that the state will pick up the bill. Major problems down the road.

It's a common mistake and one I've made myself in the past when I haven't been thinking.

To be honest, I'd rather read a passage riddled with spelling mistakes than the snobby bile spewed out by the OP for no reason other than the fact that she wants to get on some people's tits for no justifiable reason.

That's just the problem Eve. The fact you don't agree with the original post doesn't change the presence of irony in a subsequent post. You're making an emotional response clouding your judgement.

Okay! That's not the point. Getting two words mixed up highlights nothing about maturity levels or one's ability to write.

The OP's post is full of grammatical errors, by the way.

Stupid thread. I've too much time on my hands today, evidently.

it was funny all the same, bad time to mix right and write up

Personally I think It's better to wait until you're over 30 but It's up to everybody to make their own decisions. There are benefits to having kids in your 20s if you don't mind the social and career drawbacks.

As for welfare babies, being stuck with loads of kids on the dole - with no father around - in a council house in a deprived area is cleanly something so enjoyable people are queuing up to experience it.
