  1. What do you mean "no education"? I've got my Master in Math when I was 23, a month before my daughter was born 😂 and my PhD when I was 29 just before my son was born.

  5. I respect your decision but it's read as it's an advice for everybody. Let's people choose their way when to have children. My first was born when I was 23, then 28 and then 40. It was so much easier for me to have children when I was younger, stronger, with more energy. I did my Masters while expecting the first and my PhD while expecting the second. I would not advise it to everybody as my pregnancies were light and didn't prevent me from studying but it can potentially go wrong. In any case children have not made my career more difficult. I had 1.5 yr break sitting at home with the first and about 2 yrs with the second, while I had to go back to work with my third when he was 5 months old and still on breastfeeding. That was really hard and painful for me and for him being in the daycare. So, I would say, we all have our ways through life. God bless you, light delivery (if not yet) and happy motherhood ❤

  6. Do you have a constant partner? If not, I would first think about having one and then about having kids.

  7. ​ @lanabmc3519 I do really hope it would be better when the small one grows up a bit. Be kind to yourself and your kid. I have a similar experience with two kids born before I was 30 and the last one when I was 40. Now I am 48. It is hard sometimes, but then I realize that I will never have a child again growing up home and I become emotional and loving. I try to find activities we enjoy both being together like nature science experiments or reading books, my husband is teaching him programming and going swimming and skiing with him. There are definitely ways to enjoy life together. ❤

  8. Why have not you have children when you were younger then? 1) there will not be such a gap; 2) younger people can much easier adapt their life style when getting a child.

  9.  @AA-wc3tw  Your choice. I just thought that the main argument was the large gap. No right or wrong with your decision.

  10. Not an advice to anyone to prevent ill comments. I had so much in my life from my two grandmothers. The memories of being a child with them are still very vivid though I am 47 and they both have passed away. They were very different and were taking care of me in a very different way but I have learnt a lot from both of them. I am blessed to knew them both and being close to them. ❤

  11. That brainwashing is annoying. My daughter is 25 and I fear the same. I hope it'll be over soon. One more decade and the humankind will start reducing its population. Only Africa is still reproducing but having a demographic transition on the horizon. We have a bigger chance of dying in a nuclear catastrophe due to geopolitics than from the climate change.

  12. They will manage ❤ The life should continue. I hope the humankind will survive. The largest risk is no longer environmental but a nuclear war again 😨

  13. From a popular russian demographer Alexey Raksha I have heard that it doesn't work if the government pays for the first child. If the government doesn't pay for the first, but pays for the second, third etc., it does have impact on the birth rate. People have many reasons to have a first child but less reasons to have more. It was also very clear from the Chinese interviews which were shown in this video

  14. Such a nice comment ❤ Lovely that some people still want to have large families. If you already have children it's absolutely normal to have kids in your forties. It's mostly addressed to those who want to have the first child at a later age.

  15. I hope for you it will be fine ❤❤❤
