Youth and what happens when it's gone

Yes and no. There are encumbrances and liabilities that emerge that cannot be removed. Diseases, children, aging parents, accidents are all things that happen and can sometimes eat up all available resources.

I don't see this as a contradiction to the parent.

Those things you listed to prove your point can all happen to any of us at age 12, and all of the rest save child-bearing can happen at any age.

All of them are external things that change our situation, sure, but your choice to be "old" or not based on them is still a choice, which was the parent's point.

All more probable to happen over time, but not less probable to happen due to youth.
