Kirstie Allsopp has slammed young couples who wait until their thirties to have children.Let me go into Dad mode here...
The Location, Location, Location presenter, 47, took to Twitter on Wednesday to urge women in their twenties not to wait until they 'have more money or feel ready', and to save their money for 'proper childcare', instead of splashing on lavish weddings and expensive houses.
Expressing her frustration at millennials who tell her they want 'a few more years of fun', she argued that 'nothing will ever be more fun than children'.
[Oh god-Ed]
Listen up young people, Allsopp is absolutely right. What are you waiting for?
There is never a 'right' time to have kids. You just have 'em and roll with it.
For those wondering, Mrs. Stroock and I had our first at 33 and 30. We waited till we bought a house... a year and a half later, bam! From there on we had them in three year intervals.
[Now that's what I call planned parenthood-Ed]
Not having kids becuase you're worried about the lifestyle change is just stupid. Eventually you're not going to care about staying out till 4 AM on Saturday night, at least we hope not. And so do your parents.
Given all the worries people have about Millennials, we wonder if having kids might not be good for your generation. Sometimes you just need a little responsibility to set you straight.
And you young fellas, at some point you have to stop running around half-cocked like an idiot and grow up.*
Back to Allsopp, someone named Charlotte Kenrick told her to, 'Stop telling women in their 20s they're running out of time to have kids. It so damaging.'
You know what's damaging women in their 20's, Charlotte? Feminism. Feminism is always bad for women.
