Do you believe social workers view older fathers differently than older mothers? Do you believe social workers view older fathers differently than older mothers?
Frequently on the news, the public reads about very elderly father who sire guyren in their eighties or even their nineties. This type of story is usually a human interest article and it generally receives a warm response. On the other hand, when the mother is over 60 years of age, news items are often critical. Few of the latter types of stories ever report the age of the baby's father. Do you believe that social workers tend to view older fathers differently than older mothers? |
| we agree with you wholeheartedly. owing to the inequalities that still exist between women and men, this is inevitable. ironically, sometimes its the women that perpetuate this inequality to continue. its a pity! weall stereotype almost everything. in the course of our investigation we discovered how such inequalities could reduce/lessen/wiped out - we read some interesting articles in www.bahai.org on how to stop the bias against women by men and women too. thanks for the highlight! |
Why do the press attack teenage mums but also attack older mothers? They are quick to throw dirt at single, teenage mums.
But then on the other hand, they also attack the women who have studied, saved, got a good job, waited for a good man to marry, and established a secure home for 'delaying pregnancy' and being an 'older mother' who has put her career first.
Just can't win. |
| Our society is incredibly critical of anything out of the "norm" We seem to set our own moral compass to what we consider to be the right age to have guyren and anything that falls outside of this gets tutted at by the great pompous British public. The press merely feed the public with the gutter trash they crave. This is one of the main reasons I stopped buying newspapers. |
Why does society and older mothers look down on teen mother? i had my daughter wen i was 16 and i got looks and comments everywhere because i was a young mother and older mothers would always think they were a better mother just because they were older i know there are some bad teen moms out there but there are also some who make better moms then older mothers do |
Hey,
I'm 17 and i know a lot of teen moms. some of them are the best moms i've known.
my boyfriend was born when his mom was 17.
& she did an awesome job of raising him.
we have been together for a year, and he has not disrespected me once, he's really nice, and treats me really good.
He's an awesome guy.
his "teen mom" raised him well..
My bestfriend was born when her mom was 16...my bestfriend is like the most respectful teenaged girl ever ..
so basically some of the greatest people i know, came from a teen mom.
i dont look down on them..
there was this crazy out of control girl at my school. every guy liked her..she ended up being pregnant and i remember telling myself "i feel sorry for her unborn guy " lol but after she gave birth, i totally respected her a lot more. she completely changed and she's an awesome mom...
my aunt started havin guys when she was 30..she had it easy b/c she was done w/ college and was married..but her guys are soo spoiled and they are definately stuck up and turning into snobs....
teen moms don't have it as easy, so i think their guys are a lot more respectful and see how hard their parents have worked to raise them..
don't listen to people that look down on you, you made a mistake but it sounds like you are takin responsibility for your actions. so good for you:) |
Do older mothers risk having a guy with autism? I posted earlier about my 3 year old daughter who has speech problems and received some helpful advice. One particular reply had said that since I had her so old, not to be surprised if she is autistic. Does age help put a guy at risk for autism? |
| No, not that I know of and I've worked with many autistic guyren over the years. When you are older, you have a higher risk of other kinds of birth defects (like Downs Syndrome). |
Does the Quiver-Full Movement acknowledge the greater dangers of birth defects among older mothers? Also, has there been any reactions within the Quiver-Full communities to the latest Duggar Family birth (guy #19, is it?) because the daughter was delivered very prematurely and the outcome remains uncertain? |
| No, not really. The QF movement doesn't dwell much on the "dangers" of AMA because Bible believing people feel all people are created by God. They feel each life is sacred, even a Downs syndrome guy. From what has happened with Josie Duggar, it's not certain that Michelle's pre-eclampsia was the result of her age (many women who are younger and have far fewer guyren develop pre-E. Josie Duggar seems to be doing remarkably well. Is that God at work? I'm sure they would say "yes". I don't know (guess my faith is not as strong as theirs). I do believe that birth defects are more the result of genetics and poor prior life-style than age. I think the medical communites have scared women from having guyren in their older ages. It's strange how the medical community can talk about the "small" risks involved with immunizing your guy and yet talk about the "increased risks" of having a baby over age 35. If you look at the numbers, then you would realize that the actual risks are about the same, yet we sign our guys up for their shots but we don't want to have another guy after some "magic" age because the "risk" is too great. Amazing. |
Older mothers cause learning disorders in guy? So I have a friend who had some speech problems as a guy, extreme shyness, and learning problems. He went to speech therapy worked with teachers and everything and isn't really having issues with it now. But when his mother had him she was at least 35 if not older. Could that have anything to do with it? |
| it could it is a possibility, my mom had me when she was 40 and i turned out find, i think jk im an honor roll student with a g.p.a of 3.6 im in the tenth grade. i think it depends on the person and their genes. |
Why do mothers and older siblings have different goals when teaching younger siblings? Mothers have long-term goals in mind... older siblings have immediate goals in mind, why? |
| it's all about experience. |
Suggestions for maternity clothes from older mothers? I'm 52 and three months pregnant as a surrogate for my son and daughter-in-law. I'm staring to show a lot sooner than I did with my previous pregnancies, although I'm not enormous yet. To any women who have been pregnant later in life, can you please give me any suggestions on buying maternity clothes? I want to be modest, but not frumpy. |
I would check out Motherhood Maternity. There is a large enough variety you can likely find something you like there. Most other places the selection is limited.
These days they tend to accentuate the belly, unlike in the past when they attempted to hide it. Sort of a "I'm pregnant, not fat"! thing. |
Why do some older mothers feel they're qualified to lecture and judge younger mothers? I asked a question on here earlier and this lady had a big rant about teenage mums. So why is she allowed to judge me? |
I know being a teen mom is definitely not the smartest decision... but NO ONE has the right to judge you! I know what you are talking about cause im 16 and im pregnant to. Nobody is perfect... i made a mistake and im going to face its consequences! People what's done is done! And there is no back off! It requires a lot of courage to raise a guy at such a young age! Its not easy! But that doesn't means that we are not good parents! Maybe we weren't ready... but now with a baby to take care off... things are different! Please don't judge teen moms! You don't know anything about them and their story... the things the had to went through, or their situation.
I think any responsible teen mom deserves the same respect an older mom has. I repeat... maybe it wasn't the wisest decision, but what's done its done...!
Edit:
I do agree that older moms have more experience than us, but that doesn't mean that can't do a good job too. |
Adoptees with older biological siblings/ birth mothers who place a baby for adoption after having guyren ? For those who have been placed for adoption, do you have older siblings from either or both of your biological parents? How do you feel about that. Have any birth mothers placed a baby for adoption AFTER already having a guy/guyren? I.e. a woman has a guy whom she chooses to raise she then becomes pregnant again and places the second guy for adoption. |
| But why the second guy and not the first? I dont get it. ss |
