Please,let's not glamorize this growing trend of bohemians who are under the impression that they can have it all. I don't have the answer for why women at mid-life,decide to start families,but I have theories. One of which is,the preoccupation with careers. 43 and with what is more than likely going to be an only child? that smacks of selfishness as far as I'm concerned,but that's the world that we live in today. Being 43 doesn't mean that you understand life any better than you did at 33 or 23,it simply means that by the time that you're getting ready to retire,you've got a teenager in the house to deal with. And using examples such as Brooke Shields and Halle Berry to support what I feel is a poor life decision for all involved,is neither here nor there.
If she were gainfully employed at say 27,what prevented her from having children then? that's right her own agenda. Only children don't grow up with more love because they're the only ones,they grow up alone. And maybe when everyone stops Ooohing and Ahhhhing over a middle aged woman having a child,they'll think about the child for a second who will more than likely have no siblings to play with,talk with,laugh with and parents who will essentially be too old to do things when he/she becomes an adolescent.
She may have circumvented the problems that come with having children when you're younger,but that in no way means that she didn't run head first into problems that arise when you have them when you're older. There is a natural order to things but arrogance convinces people that they are not beholden to the laws of nature because Dr. Phil or Phizer told them so. Such a sad world that we live in today.
