I’m a mum & don’t think women should have kids over 40 - a comment floored me
MOTHERHOOD is often painted as a picture-perfect experience, but for one woman who became a mum in her 40s, the reality has been far more complicated…
London, UK – A recent viral video by content creator sheena_tiktok has sparked conversation about the evolving landscape of modern parenthood. The video features a woman, identified as 48 years old and approaching 50, sharing a personal anecdote that highlights the unique experiences of mothers who choose to have children later in life. In the candid clip, the woman recounts a moment at a school playground where another parent, upon learning her age, remarked, "Oh, that's the same age as my mom." The creator humorously expresses her reaction to being perceived as a grandmother rather than a contemporary parent, stating, "Do you think that makes me feel good about myself? I'm gonna tell you now, it doesn't. I'm the same age as your kids' grandma." The video, which quickly gained traction with over 86,900 views and 1,900 likes, taps into a broader discussion about ageism and the societal expectations placed on parents. As more individuals delay childbirth, stories like this shed light on the need for greater understanding and acceptance of diverse family structures and timelines.
