There is no guarantee that you will be there for your child if you are a young parent either. Things happen: people get sick, have accidents, sometimes they just plain leave.

I see no issue with having children when you are older, in fact I see it as an advantage. The parent is usually more secure in their life and know what they want and where they are at in their life. It seems that they have thought out the consequences of becoming a parent more so than a younger one might have.
