With the average age of first-time parents over 30 and rising, having kids in your 20s is increasingly unusual. So what is it like swapping nights out with friends, for endless night feeds?

When she was a teenager, Maya Dupre wanted more than anything to be an actor, like her idol, Emma Watson. By the age of 19, Dupre, from Leicester, was performing in local productions, and attending the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama on weekends. But when she unexpectedly got pregnant, her plans changed. “I had to put things on hold,” she says.

why breathing is the new punk

do it

down is up

Women are more fertile in their 20’s. In your 30’s it drops every year for conceiving a 1st child. Wonder why we are “scientifically” made that way.

What?!

Tad irresponsible...🙄

You are all dorks.

I’ll pass.

Stop talking up having children! This world doesn't need more children at the moment. Let's take better care of the ones that already are born and stop being baby sprinklers!

'parenting in your 20s is the new punk', 'conservatism is the new counterculture'. the apocalypse really needs speeding up

Also in the Guardian: “I’m a young single mum, and I need a higher wage on my entry-level job to support my child. This is your fault, and you need to pay me more”

Not for me it ain't, I'm still and always will be loyal to having a kid in my 30s, that's the more sensible option 😉
