That one must be mentally, emotionally, physically & financially ready to bring that tiny human into the world. Timberlake was young & made the decision as half of that relationship.
He was clearly not ready to be a parent.
I've always told my kids to enjoy their 20s first, given after college they're having to focus on launching their careers & don't have much time for much else. They won't have money to raise a family having just finished schooling, and they need the time to find themselves, focus on life outside of work, build meaningful relationships with their peers, set goals for themselves and travel as much as they can. Bottom line it's about having balance. Having a baby when you're a k8d yourself isn't a wise idea.

It's possible that the ridiculous "busy body" book bans would have provided some impetus
