Good age to have kids

no babies for me yet. but i'm still totally undecided about whether i should just have babies whenever they decide to come to me or whether i should wait until i'm done with school and have a pretty good hold on my life. i think it's totally possible to raise a kid and get finances and everything stabilized, but for some reason, part of me thinks i should get totally settled before i bring another life into this world.

 

If I was going to have children I think I'd probably have them anywhere between 28-40. I've always wanted a career more than a child. I'd prefer to adopt anyway.

 

preferable before 25...early menopause runs throught my family...my grandmother...mom...me maybe? and my sister...i would hope it skipped me but to be on the safe side i rather have them before i turn 30. lately i;ve been thinking about maybe not having kids though...but i've always dreamed of a little version of me or whoever father's my child...i know i'm not ready yet...financially.

 

i hope to have kids around the age of 22 or 23. but if it happened right now id be cool with it

 

I'll have my BA in Education when I'm 23. Then I should have my Masters in Educational Psychology by the time I'm 27, so 28 seems to be a good age for me to have children. I'm too wild right now. Plus, I live in a communal house of college students, so a child would fuck up the environment. I wouldn't want to expose a child to the party lifestyle. I wish other people would think this way.

 

At least 30 for me

 

Hopefully before 25 for me, 23 ideally.
All I want is a little farm and a family so for me there is no point in waiting.

 

Hey folks, just promise me you won't be like this girl. truly sad :

My mom had my brother at 27, me at 32... Anywhere in between there sounds just right to me.

 

I was just 20, when my daughter was born, at the time I was newly married and the pregnancy wasn't planned... but I wouldn't change it for the world, becoming a parent at such a young age forced me to become grounded and I'm sure I ended up in a much better place today because of it. I was 23 when my son was born. My husband and I always knew we wanted to be parents at a young age.

 

between 22-24

 

When you have grown up yourself and dealt with as many childhood issues as you can..

I waited until i was 40....for me that was perfect...

Did lots of healing on myself beforehand

Not saying I am the perfect mammy....but if i had had a child before, not sure I would have been as good for them as I am now...

 

I think its best to have a child when your..Hmm..I dont know..11-15 cause your kid will be close to your age and you can relate to alot of the same things..Young love is so beautiful. <3

 

I think it depends.

 

Whenever you feel ready for that. It's not like you should definitely finish all the school stuff, have a respectable job and so on - my best friend got her little boy last year - she was 16 - and now she's perfetcly happy about that, she's having a good life while her next husband provides for them three and she's planning to continue her studies next year and than have her respectable job and all the other things.

To me it seems like I won't be ready for that for a long time and I actually doubt it could happen someday (i confess - am not the lover of kids).

 

I used to always want to have kids as soon as I turn 18. But now that I am 22 years old, and I'm a nanny to 6 months old twins.. I think I can wait. Just depends on if you have the finanical need to do so. Plus if you are stable as well. =)

 

i would like to have kids at 20-25, as soon as i settle down and have done all my travelling and college. i cant wait to have kids and i want a lot lol

 

Hmmm... you categories seem to narrow. I would say between 25-40.

 

it all depends ya know...
starting from 16 probably
if ya feel mature enough...
there's a real story of a girl in russia, newspapers wrote a lot about her
she gave a birth to a child when she was 11
and then i watched her interview and a documentary
and i can say that she really seems mature and conscious enough

that just amazed me ya know...

 

I'd want to be at least 30...
but I might just be a foster parent.
