Presently, some people get used to having children
older than in the past; there are different opinions about this situation, a
group support the idea that it has more downside than positive effects for
families and consequently, for societies, while other disagree with this point of
view. That is why, it is an essential issue which deserves a deep down
evaluation before offering an opinion.
Ancient societies tended to have younger parents for
many reasons, such as in the past people lived shorter than nowadays and there
were not contra conceptive methods. So, those cultures were very young and
frequently parents and children were adults at the same time, having a chance
to share some good experiences. Moreover, some experts believe that it is
better to have children in the 20s decade because people are more energetic and
healthier.
On the other hand, these days people live longer, and
they have more time to become economic stable, reach professional satisfactory
and start a family. Even if, it may be very funny to be 27 and have a 10
years old child, it is very complicated to be a teen parent and teach the ropes
to a baby when father or mother is still a child. So, in modern societies, it
is quite common that partners make the decision to become parents when they
have a wide range of needs solve and they feel ready to take care of someone
else.
In conclusion, from my point of view, it is natural
that now people have children older than in the past, and it is not necessarily better or wrong, it is a result of our new lifestyle.
