I am 46, a mother of two teenagers, divorced and wonder why I signed up to the Asian timeline you shared. Having gone that route, all I have to say is that having children cannot be an individual decision. I truly believe that it should come out of the love and commitment by two individuals to raise children with collective goals. Can't kids go up with single parents yes, but I think there is most joy to sharing that experiencing. In reality I say, motherhood is a thankless job for fleeting moments of happiness. I get more joy from my dog than I do from my kids. Truth!
