Sometimes I admire the age my grandmother lived. At that time, life may not as developed as nowdays, but they seemed to live happier than us. They may not have internet, but with internet sometimes I feel overwhelmed with too much information in front of me. They may have to go to a grocery store to buy something in person, but it will waste me more time to solve the issues like returnning a goods purchased online when it has defects and worring about the credit card get misused when purchased things online. More moden, more by-products came out.
Why women's giving birth age is getting older an older and why population increasement rate is getting decreasing in some countries, the life pressure is one of the main reasons. People want to save enough and trying to build a better career, to get a nicer car, nicer house before they are serious to think of to have a baby. The desire having a better material life is beyond the desire having a baby. The more moden, the more need to learn, and the later people to enter the society. And the later people get married. Sigh.

I think its great to have goals, want an amazing career, etc. But I think people let the pressure of it get to them. Or they let the money do the goal making for them. Sometimes I do wish we lived in a simpler time. My computer crashed a few months ago and I didn't have a cell phone b/c of unpaid bills. But the freedom I got was amazing. I read books, I took long walks, now that I have my electronics back I do use them less. If I don't have to talk on the phone I won't, i will see a person in person. I love the convenience of a computer, but I don't depend on it. I think people need to learn to be happy with themselves and others, not materials, or technology -

Lets see I got married early-20-had a beautiful baby--Wanted more children but my husband at the time was too busy "finding himself" and we could barely afford the baby we had. Finally divorced him, met an amazing man and we wanted a baby-Yes I was 32 when I had him-To some I was too old, but I feel 20 and I gave birth in 60 minutes from start to finish. It had nothing to do with greed or wanting material things-It was just life's timing. But I understand what you are saying-I sometimes too think life and family seemed so much more simple and happy back before we had all of this technology. -

It's interesting to hear a man feel that way. There are plenty of man who want women to have the careers or put off raising a family. Some men even want to play the modern bachelor, possibly father a kid or two and just enjoy slutting their way around. It is very refreshing to hear a man bring such valid points up.
