>More women are paying big bucks on a “no guarantee” procedure that allows them to work in their 20s and 30s and have children in their 50s.
Singer Sophie B. Hawkins gave birth in early July to a daughter at the age of 50.
>Using an embryo frozen 20 years prior, she took advantage of the technology so her son could have a sibling.
“Being 50 is actually an amazing age to have a second child because I am more wise, calm, humorous, appreciative, simple, and clear,” Hawkins told US Magazine.

What does /pol think about career women freezing their healthy eggs in order to have children at an older age?
Why not have children first, then seek to enhance your career ?
My mother had 4 children before shooting up to the top in her work place hierarchy.
Age 50 is an awful age to have children. Menopause makes a women more selfish and less maternal.
>parents had me at 40
>most of my grandparents died of old age before I could meet them
>even if I had kids within the next year, they probably wouldn't know my parents
>any sense of family history is now strictly theoretical
People who do this are unforgivably selfish.

This
There's absolutely no reason to put work before family life.
Work is just a means to an end. Family is that end.
Kids born by older parents have shittier genetics.
women should have kids at 17 and work later.

>parents had me at 40
>grandparents are still alive, but just barely
>gotta help mom go change grandpa's diaper every day
>gotta take dad to his VA appointments and help him clean up when he shits himself because he drank too much
>or help dad find his cane
>or help dad find his teeth
>by the time I have children, my mom will be reaching 70
>>71580154
Thats fucking disgusting, nasty old whore putting out retard babbies.
>having a child at 50
I hope you aren't planning on ever meeting your grandkids. My parents had me at 40 and will probably be dead before my children graduate high school. I'm surprised my grandparents are still around.
>>71580607
Same. I know it's smarter for men to get married older, but my parents are pushing 60 and I'm just now graduated. My dad has heart problems and I'm legit worried about him croaking in the next 10 years. I mean, technology is always advancing, but I would be devastated if my kids never got to meet their grandparents.

>tfw my dad was crying because no grand kids

How unprogressive...

Also, having a kid at 50 means you'll be on the way out while your kid is in college. You better have a great retirement plan, because there is no way your kid is going to be able to help you out.
>>71580607
>>71580772
In the same boat as you guys.
>>71580154
They can also implant the egg back into another women.
>>71580154
>your mother will probably die before you're 35
ye na
>>71580154
The only downside is that it burdens their children with healthcare costs in the future if they don't prepare for it
Otherwise their kids get their inheritances earlier and everyone likes those.
>>71580648
That's because the eggs are old and shriveled like the women they are born from
>>71580154
Thanks feminism I could of married a guy and never had to do anything but raise children and clean the home and feed the family. Now I get to freeze my eggs and work till 50 then try to give it a go. It's so empowering. FUCK THIS SHIT!

>>71581021
Do you guys get angry (or just frustrated) sometimes that you weren't born sooner/have younger parents?
There's guys my age going to the gym and backpacking with their dads, but all mine wants to do is drink and watch "them boobie shows on TV"
>>71581148
>tfw my mom can't even walk
It's the worst feel
>>71580154
they're fucking retarded, most women can't have children naturally once they hit around 35 and need some type of IVF at that point. In fact when a women hits 30 90% of her eggs are gone. It takes a lot of energy raising a kid I wouldn't want to be doing it at 40-50
>>71581148
I'm more frustrated that my dad is retired yet complains I don't make time to see him. I have to work and do shit with my kids and wife. Why the fuck doesn't he make time for me?
>>71580154
What is this obsession with women being career driven and successful? What's the point of it all?
Okay, you did it. You worked eighty hours a week for thirty years and now you're a CEO. What exactly does this get you? You just spent pretty much your whole life doing nothing but obtaining wealth you've barely had the time to spend.
>>71580626
The priorities are really upside down nowadays, but it's women who suffer most from it. Reap what you sow.
>sure you can pursue your career and have children later!
>thatll be $10,000 to freeze your eggs, plus tip :^)
Gotta hand it to them, they always find a way to make money off their scams.
>>71580154
Except you'll be senile before your child is an adult, you fucking cunt.
>>71580154
I'd like to have a children at older age. I think it is unhealthy to have them in your best years. And thankfully to medicine and living standarts women at 50 may look like they're 30.
>>71581140
just marry a guy and become a stay at home mom you dumb bitch no one is forcing you to enter the workforce. there are still men out there who value a traditional wife.

>What is this obsession with women being career driven and successful? What's the point of it all?
Same thing as men endless greed for money, the muh strong independent types are the posers the real career women are the ones that are basically sociopath businesswomen.

If she's a singer she's going to have trouble breaking into the industry in her 40s.
