People nowadays tend to have children at older ages. Do the advantage of this outweigh the disadvantages.

Nowadays there is a trend that people start having babies when they have become older.

Although

there are benefits involved in

this

trend, the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. On the one hand,

parents

who have babies in their thirties and forties are more mature.

That is

they have more experience in order to raise their

children

.

For instance

, they can provide

children

with pieces of advice about the major they should study and their career path.

Moreover

, older

parents

tend to have stable jobs, so they can support their

children

properly.

For example

, they are capable of sending their child to private schools.

This

in turn will cause infants to have a better future when they become adults.

On the other hand

, a huge age gap between

parents

and

children

may cause different issues. One problem could be difficulties in communication. Because these

parents

belong to a completely different generation, it would be hard for them to understand their

children

. Take a teenager who wants to dye his hair pink as an example; his old

parents

would be really angry as he cannot understand the current trend in fashion.

Furthermore

, since old

parents

are more likely to face numerous health problems, they do not have enough energy to spend with their family.

This

may cause their child faces various emotional issues. In conclusion, old mothers and fathers can support their

children

when it comes to financial issues.

However

,

due to

the huge age difference, they cannot provide enough emotional support for their

children

.

This

makes the downsides far more important than the benefits.
