Even aside from issues of mother's health... If a parent (female or male) has a kid at 55, she or he will probably be using a wheelchair at college graduation and have died before grandchildren ever appear. It doesn't seem so great for the kids, knowing they'll be orphaned before they're 30, and possibly having to support (financially/logistically/emotionally) an elderly parent in their 20s.
