Older And Wiser Parents-Older Couples Having Kids

July 15, 2008

Do older coupes make for better parents? Some would agree, due to the belief that the couples are older and supposedly more wiser, they are better able to handle the rigors of raising children , while others disagree, stating that older couples have more health problems and not as active like younger couples, they are not able to handle the rigors of raising children.

Both of the beliefs can be true, but let us look at the subject a bit more closely. Is the question really about whether older couples make for better parents or should the ages of the older couples who are having the kids be the main issue?

Some believe that the ages of the couple having the kids do not matter whether they are in their 20’s or even in their 70’s and the question is more to do with the maturity and readiness of the couples to have kids rather than about age.

Like most people say, “Age is nothing but a number” and this topic is no different. As for the maturity factor, there are some couples who are in their twenties that are more mature than couples in their fifties, just as there are couples that are in their fifties that are more mature than people who are in their thirties, so it is not all about the age of the couples is it not?

Some think that the positive factors for older couples having children are that they are more financially secure and are more settled in life to have the time and financial resources to care for their children while others think younger couples are more physically able to care for their children, even though they may not have all the financial resources and time to care for their children.

Some people also think because younger couples are more physically and mentally able to care for their children, they would make better parents, but there are others who think older couples are more physically and mentally able to care for their children than younger couples.

So, what does matter in the characteristics of the couples who have children? Age is not really the issue, since any dedicated and able couple can have and raise children and the physical and mental aspects of older and young couples is not much an issue, since any couple who can stand on their own two feet and have enough sense to raise a child, can do so.

Any couple who is willing and able to care for and raise their kids in the right way, are good and fit parents, no matter what their age, race or lifestyle is, so for those who dwell on this issue of the age of parents, you should look at your own age and decide are you able and fit to raise children and if you are; good for you and if you are not, then shut up and worry about other things.
