I completely see what you are saying and you have some very good points. I am thinking that maybe with the economy getting worse and worse and how the roles of women in the workplace have grown to be more important, that maybe cost of living has something to do with it. It is hard to pay for everything nowadays, especially to support children. Maybe women are realizing how much money it takes to raise a child and they wait till they are older because they want to be more established and financially ready to care for a child. It probably has to do with jobs as well. If a woman finds herself in a good paying job with a position she really likes, that it may keep her from taking time off and doing the whole child thing for a little while longer. It is difficult to be torn up between finally being important in the workplace but wanting to give in to your maternal instincts as well. I find just from observation that alot of women want to work for awhile and get some decent time in to be successful in a job, to save up money, and then they want to have children a little later in life. I do not think there is anything wrong with it unless the woman has some kind of health risks. I think it is better off for the family and the child to be better established within themselves as well as a financial aspect so that way there is less stress to deal with along the way. It is always better to be more over prepared than to be underprepared and take the risk of sinking!
