My mom was in her early 40s and my dad in his 50s when I was born.
I never asked about the specifics of their decision to have me but given that I'm an only child on my mom's side, I'm sure she carefully weighed the pros and the cons of raising a child this late in life while working at least another decade (she was a social worker).
Keep in mind that it was in the 70s, in France.
I probably have a natural bias because of that but even without being biased by my personal experience , I don't see any societal controversy other than it falls under the umbrella of reproductive rights.
I'll probably write a topic about this, thanks for the opportunity.
