You have 6 years until you hit "geriatric pregnancy" status. You can increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy by banging a younger man.

Conclusion: Time for Boobage to become a cougar.
How do you see these kids being financially supported? These people that you mention probably don't have better prospects than a minimum-wage job and now that they have kids, any prospects of starting/resuming higher education is infinitely more difficult.
Also unfortunately not everyone comes from a country where school/daycare/healthcare is free or heavily subsidized. My parents had to pay for my and my siblings' school fees and doctors visits out of their own pockets, from kindergarten to university.

I don't really care whether someone has kids in their 20s or early 30s but I can answer for Mepsi since I had parents in my 20s. Basically young parents either work a lot, mix government help with work until they get on their feet, or are given help from the grandparents.
In her early 20s, my mom got a small job and went to college at the same time. She actually took me with her to her college classes. The professors were fine with it since I was cute and mostly quiet. My dad worked at an office job and while he didn't get enough money to move out of a poor area until he was older, he said he was happy that he had me when he was young because he had a lot more energy and time to play with me vs playing with my far younger brother. As far as childcare goes, when neither were available, my grandparents or great grandpa watched me. I'm grateful for this because I'm the only one of my cousins that got to bond with my great grandfather before he passed.
Others I've met who were born to young parents either had a similar story to me, had parents who were able to rely more heavily on grandparent money, or had parents who stayed together to better financially take care of their kid(s). In America, having kids in your 20s is not the horrific hellfire experience people think it is. Bringing up financials is also a bit confusing to me because some people stay as poor as they were at 20 even into their 30s or become poor later due to illness. My friend's mom was 30 and dad was in his 40s (they were Europeans) when he was born but he lived in a worse area than I did until he was 18. I also can't say that growing up poorer than my younger siblings hurt me personally. You think I cared that me and the other kids I played with on the playground had poor parents? So long as I had food and fun, I didn't have a care in the world.

that's what grandparents are for, both for taking care of the kids while the parents are at work and for helping with the financial situation
that's the healthy approach anyway, in practice it's usually just state welfare instead
people making it out to be terrible and life ruining are usually just degenerate hedonists who can't imagine enjoying life without copious amounts of partying, sex, drugs and booze.
I wrote a longer comment that probably gives away too many details of my personal life but let's suffice to say that I don't come from a country that rains money (ie.. no government help) and there's also expectation to also financially support your elderly parents (again due to no government help) and cultural shame about mooching off your parents when you're supposed to be financially supporting them. So there's a lot of expectations on us to do well academically, get higher education, get established in our careers and attain at least some level of financial stability before we reproduce. We're taught to want better for ourselves than that.

Every culture has its own expectations. I'd just suggest keeping in mind that most people on the internet (ESPECIALLY people in the woke poly circles) are from rich countries where parents are expected to help their children until their kids are able to be independent. You'll also see people from poor countries like Mexico, Colombia, etc etc where the culture expects the whole family to help each other out forever, placing family far above financial independence so don't be surprised when you see a ton of young parents online.

Is marriage just a checkbox anymore? Whatever happened to it being a serious vow of lifelong commitment? These people obviously have no idea what marriage is.

Good morning.
The risk of Maternal Death is 5x times for women in their 30s compared to women in their 20s, the risk of Stillbirthing is 25 fold.
That's not a 5% and a 25% increase, that's a 500% and a 2500% increase respectively.
Humans have an historical lifespan of 25 years.
You get what you deserve. Get fucked.

Saying this like you think it means a 26-year-old was considered old or middle-aged in the past is a nice way of admitting to both historical and statistical illiteracy at the same time.

yeah because the majority perished during infancy or childhood, that brings down average quite a lot
once you made it to adulthood you could reasonably expect to live to age 40 to 50 at least

Yes, let us discourage women from having children. That will surely solve the problems with western civilization slouching towards bethlehem.
I'm getting tired of newfags coming to community watch to a-log and politisperg not realizing that this is a place people come to laugh.

Even people in Biblical times expected you could live to 70, assuming you managed to avoid being smitten by the wrath of YHVH, flogged to death by Egyptian slavedrivers, or overrun by a mob of rampaging Philistines.

I had a good laugh talking to a friend about this. When I first read the thread I brought the topic up to her, the general insanity and messiness of it. Asked how she would respond if her man came up to her like: 'Honey, I've been thinking about opening our relationship-' and she immediately cuts me off 'So who is the bitch?'
As funny as this thread is, it baffles me how important sex is to these people. It's treated like it is the number one most important thing in a relationship and the moment it becomes a little less exciting it's 100% a priority to introduce crazy shit to it or you'll both die or something. It's such a juvenile mindset.

Maybe she's hoping people will find her through the tags and then DM her applications to join her harem.
