Today, it was my birthday and I have no children. My father bluntly says, "Well, I guess if I get any grand-babies out of you now, they will have Down's Syndrome." I just turned 30. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I mentioned to my family that I was sad about the fact that I was thirty-five years-old, single, and had no children. My father piped up from the next room, "What man in his right would want your lopsided tits, fat thighs, and fucked-up nose in their gene pool?" FML
Today, I realised yesterday was my 30th birthday. What made it worse is that my parents forgot, along with my other relatives and friends. No cards, no texts, no calls, no Facebook messages. Nothing. Happy 30th to me. FML
Today, it's my 35th birthday. I’m a single father of 3 (14, 13, 12). I’m also a disabled combat veteran and have been alone for a while now. I just got news this morning that the mother of my children (who hasn’t been present in their lives at all for over 10 years and is a meth addict) is pregnant. FML
Today, I turned 30. I still can't grow any facial hair. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. FML
Today, it's my 30th birthday. My husband came home with a big case of beer for himself, then told me he didn't have time to get me a present because of work. FML
Today, my daughter, who was born in late 2000, mentioned how amazing it is that she'll be alive during the year 3000. I asked her exactly how old she thinks she'll be by then. She said, "Thirty, duh." I've screwed up as a parent, so very badly. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, my daughter announced that she's pregnant. I'm going to be a 37 year-old grandmother. FML

Your dad is an ass. 35+ is when women are most at risk. And besides, there are plenty of women who successfully deliver passed that point with no issues.

It's a lot better than having kids when you're not ready for them.

My mom had me at 32, and I'm okay. My friend's mom had her at 42, and though she's a little odd, that's more just something that runs in the family.

Worry not! My mom gave birth to my baby brother at 46, and he is completely normal.

Don't worry OP my mother had my brother at 34 and me at 39 and we were both born healthy. Donny feel pressured to have children if you're not ready for them.

The real question is "Do you want kids"? If you do not, then ignore your dad since he is an ass and live your life child-free, enjoy your money, enjoy traveling the world. If you do, don't worry, my mom had my brother at 30, so it is still possible. Have a wonderful birthday, OP!

I know someone who had her first child at 41 and the child is perfectly healthy. I wouldn't be too worried about it. Hope you had a happy birthday regardless

There are worse things in life than having Down's, like being a judgemental asshole.

You're fine. My mom had me(first kid) when she was 36 and my little sister at 39. We turned out fine.

I had my daughter when I was 31 and my son at 35. They are both wonderful, happy, and healthy!
