Yeah. And I know for the OP, a lot of her reactions here are due to having an elderly father who died somewhat recently. But it's tough to see how that's not visible to her as a rather singular issue

just kind of baffled by this being the big drawbacks for having kids later, I guess? What's the point of this line? Just.. trying to ignore every other reason women have for having kids "later"? I can't go back in time to when I was 23 and be like oh shit grandparents, I should get on this
