True, the world changes. In a few more years we'll likely be saying that 37 is too young to have a child. Or maybe 47. At what age can we finally say that it's really just people being afraid to grow up and take on adult responsibilities?
And BTW I have no children and my wife and I don't plan any. So I am not arguing anyone's personal choice. NO ONE should have kids if they don't want them, at any age. My argument is with the idea that a 27 year old is not a full grown adult in every sense of the word. He is, although of course he is free to continue thinking and acting like an adolescent if he chooses.
