I don't think so, it depends completely on your priorities, people who don't care for kids & parents are having different life priorities set for them. I have seen people having kids in their early 40s and being good parents. It's about planning & prioritizing. Note anyone can become a father or mother but fathering a child & nurturing a child is different than producing the child. Yes, people are becoming practical, a race for money & other materialistic things are on an no knows when will it end.
