Pretty much any demographic information would show you"re out to lunch man. Average age of marriage in Canada is 31 for men and 29 for women. It"s probably similar in the US, no more than a year or two difference (on average, I"m sure in some of your shithole states it"s much different). And it"s higher for college educated people as well. That means that most women of a higher social standing/desirability (which may or may not say anything about their craziness quotient, natch), are not likely to be having children until well in their 30"s.Silence said:Explain how they aren"t? Not trying to be confrontational here, just looking for some illumination.
I"m 30, as are the majority of my close social circle. Of the 20-30 people that includes, only a couple have gotten hitched and the first couple is expecting their child in April, when the husband will be 30.5 and the wife nearly 31. Anecdotal, sure, but that"s extremely typical at least round these parts. A lot of us are friends with another group we call the "grade 12s" because they were in grade 12 when we were in grade 10, and lo and behold most of them have only had their first kids in the past year or two, at 31-32. Bro and sis had their first kids at 35 and 31, respectively, with partners of the same age.
And talking about demographics of marriage/divorce, things like a decent income, college education, marrying 25+, having a kid a year or more after marriage and so on rapidly decrease the rate of divorce down to less then 20-30%. The ones getting divorced by 30 probably ARE crazy, along with poor, uneducated, and saddled with 3 poorly raised kids soon to be horrific teenagers. No thanks!
