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

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.

I was born when my mom was thirty, and I have two younger brothers she had at 33 and 36. We're all perfectly healthy. So don't stress it too much! That was not a cool thing for your dad to say.

My mom was 32 and I'm a genius. You're fine for now.

90% of babies with a prenatal diagnosis of Down Syndrome are aborted.

I gave birth to my first, and only, child at 34 and he's perfect. A colleague of mine is pregnant with her first now and she's 39 but all her tests show her baby is perfect. The risks don't increase until age 35 but even then it's not a guarantee. Keep yourself healthy and you and your future child(ren) will be fine. Tell dad to piss off.

Ignore him. I had a child at 31 and she's ahead of her age group.
