So many articles have been popping up lately about “older” parents. First there was a
horde of articles about men in their 60’s starting their “second families” and raising young kids. Then came the story about the 60-year-old woman who gave birth to twins through in-vitro fertilization. This, of course, sparked the always ongoing debate about whether younger or older moms are better.
So what is it with the medical advances creating these change-ups? Or is this newest story just women’s revenge for the ability of men to have children later in life – which is a skill they often employ with younger women? Recently came the generally ignored news that men might have their own version of the infamous biological clock. But it seems that as long as men still find themselves able to have kids well into their 50’s, 60’s, and sometimes even beyond, they’re going to keep doing so. Do women feel a need to compete with this?
