40 is too old. She missed the boat.

Parents, train your children to think of marriage with lots of children as a success. Society is working the other direction.

Not to old.

In the past when women had 10+ kids they usually had a couple in their 40s. Fertility among women aged 40-44 peaked in 1947. https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/research/olympic-britain/population/have-kids-settle-down/

In fact having children reduces people happiness levels for everyone accept those who have their first child over 40.

She's too old. She hasn't even met Mr. Right yet. She'll be retiring when the kids graduate high school and dead when they get out of college. That some people can do it doesn't mean all people should.

Yeah any pregnancy with 40+ mom or dad most likely ends up in downs syndrome. Not to insult downs people though; I was friends with a downs person a decade ago.
