      You shouldn't feel bad nobody should have kids for selfish reasons or before they're ready.
      Just because someone is younger doesn't mean they're not going to have fertility issues. That seems to be pretty common nowadays.

      Alison, you have plenty of time. Many women are having kids up to the early 50s. Plus, there's in-vitro and surrogacy. Adoption if nothing else. Lots of ways to have children. You can be a mother when YOU'RE ready.👍🏽🌻

It's ok to have children whenever you like, but I do believe her experience is what helped me becoming so successful in life. I owe everything to her. Thank you Mami❤

      I had my child at 26, but now at 43 I think if I had a child I would crush parenting in the best was possible because I'm over the angst of my 20s, over educating myself, over chasing material (home/money), way more mellow & patient with myself and others. I know there are risks, but if I could do it over I would wait.

Then 6 months later my brother passed away during the pandemic he was the oldest. I helped cater to him as well, but he passed in a home, my momma was able to stay home with me until 8 hrs before she passed away. I had to call an ambulance because I was so scared. I miss her dearly, she was the best momma in the world.

      I don’t think it has anything to do with maturity cause young moms might be mature at home but at workplace, they are the late bloomers cause they start adapting in the real world later that we are the ones that have to adapt and treat them more like juniors with lower expectations compared to her peers that are no longer juniors. Their focus is also more on their baby at home than her responsibilities at work. So mature at home but less mature in the real world/workplaces. Workplace is part of the real world, home is your own world.

And, it lasted almost 15 yrs. It was horrible, i thought I was going crazy. It was very emotional and draining, I thought it would never end. Now, I’m 60, with my 1st granddaughter, and I think back, on what a blessing it was to have had my 3 children early. God bless all.🙏🏼
