I have noticed in the last decade the trend seem's to be that women are having babies later in life around the thirty to late thirties. That's fine if that's what they want, i suppose it gives them a chance to experience a career and some of what life has 
to offer outside marriage and children.
But i say good on the mum's who settle down and have children at a younger age. I was one of those mum's and most likely too young in some people's eye and back then i would have to agree with them. But as i've aged i think about differently.
The women who has a baby lets say 35 years old, will be 56 when the child turns 21, and lets say that child does not marry and have children till their 35 years old, that same women would be 70 years old. And would be 90 years by the time their grandchild was 20 years old.
As i said earlier i was very young when i had my children but now i can see it help me a great deal bringing up my children, i was young enough too understand their wants, needs moods, their rebellion, their teenager years where mum knew nothing, but mum did and that helped me to communicate with them.
My son's not married yet and his 37 years old and i feel for him, his gone for the career first and in the last year he has been wondering if it's to late for him, of course i tell him no and that he will find his soul mate, but it has to hard when he works up to 18 hour days.
On the other hand my daughter got married in her early twenties and now has 2 beautiful children ,my daughter is 39 years old and her children are 13 and 11. I'm a 54 year old grandmother and i'm enjoying watching my grandchildren grow and i feel that i'm still young at heart that i can understand them and enjoy their activities.
