Thanks Kristen from MA! Point taken but I would counter that it IS very possible for many of the women that frequent this site to be "turned off" by the outspoken nature of some of the comments and the downright combative tone of some of the commenters.

Nah, as you and other commenters rightly pointed out, I clearly wasn't understanding that it's the age of the eggs that affect things like what I was worried about. I mean yeah, it's concerning that a parent would be more likely to die when the offspring is at a younger age but yeah. Thanks for the info.

Ha, wait...what?

LOL yeah...no.

Man, I can sympathize with the first question. One of my ex's was basically a porn star in the bedroom. I thought I would spend the rest of my life comparing after we broke up.

This person is a troll and a poor one at that. Pay him no attention and he will go back under his bridge eventually.

Very interesting and no I had no idea. It's really only in the last year maybe that I've actually begun to put real thought into the whole process of having kids. As is the case with many subjects, you start by learning you have a lot to learn ha.

Elaborate pwease

I know, same. Damn sidebar always has some good ones I missed and I have to go back and click.

Ha thanks for the late reply to my cervix nailing question

I would wager that most girls don't fully understand the inner workings of their reproductive system just like most men don't fully understand theirs.

Word, my question wasn't worded well. I got the selfish bit from reading her answers in the interview. I went further with it in assuming that she dismissed the health risks to the child.

Yeah, a couple others pointed this out and it was something I totally didn't understand.

Well, it certainly wasn't my intention to inspire that sort of doubt or dread with the comment. As others have pointed out, freezing your eggs while young is a way to avoid some of the potential complications which is something I just didn't know frankly.

See, and I had NO idea that it was the eggs that made the difference. Good info, thanks.

Ha dude (dudette), I'm not judging. FFS I hate asking questions or even commenting on Jezebel sometimes. You can't participate without some militant chick getting her panties twisted.

I'm curious, what are Jezebel's thoughts on women who "choose" to have kids this late. The rates of birthing kids with DS skyrocket after mid-30's yes?

HA. That's pretty legit though to offer free dry cleaning (if true). It's not about not wanting to look nice, I have some office/dress shirts and decent slacks that I like to wear and I feel like look good in. But I work in a super small nonprofit (me and the ED is it for staff) and if I'm not going to see anyone…
