Do you think people that are in their 30s and older are wasting their time not having children?

I have a cousin that had her first child at 43 and she got criticized for it. She said she waited too young and there’s a risk for having babies so late and she should have got laid in her 20s.
My older siblings has children. My brother had his first child at 25 and my sister had her first at 26. Of cousin different years.
I’m 21 and I’m getting pressured to find someone. I’m not ready to be a mom and I don’t want a relationship. I’m done with them.

I think society keeps asking the wrong questions. It has nothing to do with age. It does everything to do with the life/upbringing you’re able to provide the child and waiting until someone can do that effectively. For some people, that moment never comes, either by circumstance, or choice, and that should be OK. For some people it takes longer. For some people opportunities come earlier.

Society pressuring people to bring children up into life of struggle just for the sake of making them is stupid though.
