Good age to have kids

I see myself having kids between ages 28-38. An older age than average, but as the baby of the family I still feel quite young and immature at 20.

 

I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 18, had her at 19. I don't regret it the least bit. I'm now 20 and pregnant again, and will be having the baby at 21.
Before I was pregnant the first time, I had no direction in my life. I literally wanted to do nothing. I never partied, but I didn't work or anything, either. Most would say that's the worst person to be a mother.
However, the second I saw that test, I knew I had to change.
Both my husband and I are in college now, I have top marks in my classes, and I would not have a clue about what I want to do had I not gotten pregnant.
The only thing that I will say sucks is that I'm not able to stay home with her for the few years she and this new baby are really young. I was lucky enough to be able to stay home with my daughter for her first year, and we will be home with this new baby for the first year as well.
That being said, I did pick 21-30 on the poll because there are a lot of younger people I have personally seen in my town who have had kids young who really shouldn't have, mainly for maturity reasons...partying just seems to be more important. But there are also a few who have had their kids at the same age as me, and have been great parents.
I really like the fact that I'm young enough to really remember my childhood and teen years and am closer to the generation that my daughter and son will be in than I would be if I waited till I was in my 30's.
I also have a huge amount of energy to keep up with a toddler, whereas I don't know if that would still be there when I'm older.
I also like that Lea Lea and our son will be able to see us work our way up from school to owning a home, working our desired jobs, and reaching financial security. I think that will give them a better appreciation for the things we have when we have them, rather than having them born into a home where we can give them absolutly anything they ask for. We have made sure that there is food in the fridge and clothes in the closet and a roof over our heads, and that when our kids get older, they are going to be able to join sports, music groups, etc. But we also are making sure that we teach them the value of working to get to where you want to be.

 

I would have said like 30 before, but when the kids at work tell me they wish I were thier mom it makes me wanna pop babies out now because it's so darn cute...way better then when they say I smell good or ask me how my hair is blonde now ( most of my schools are 0 percent caucasian so they really don't know about white-people hair and are facsinated) all those things that kids compliment on that adults are too afraid to. I put my notice in today and know it's the smartest and best thing to do, but I sure am going to miss my kids!

 

I think 25-27 is a good age to have kids.

 

I would have agree with the sexy blonde lady. lol

 

27-30..so that your age is quite closer to your kids so you can easily understand them.

 

Yeah, that's true too. I'm the only one in my family that can understand baby talk.

 

Dont have to do with your age thus?
has it???

I mean.. are you that young, or... that old!!?? LOL!

..

 

I love kids, but I'm done having them. God knows that I would of liked to of had more when I was younger. She lost 2..damn near killed me too. Not in his plan to have more, I guess. I guess he wants me to ejoy grandkids that he will bless me with. I hope it will be more than one and they are healthy.

 

I ddint ment about having kids, but about talking baby talk..

You said you were the alone one in the family to understand their talk.. so thats make you a few months old, or senile! lol!

No offense ment, just sounded funny!

Anyway it isnt you who have kids, it is her.
And if He wants you to, then it will be.
We can never know.

 

Mama, me taking a bake now..baby needs some wa wa. No, really, I need something to drink. Coffee has made me so dry. BRB.

 

LOL! be nice like that, and all will be fine.

 

I will be married at 27 and hope to start soon after that!

 

I want to have my first child when I'm 25.

 

Id like to bring up a child one day. There are doubts about my fertility though, and my fiancé totally isnt interested in raising a child, so im guessing it wont happen

 

If i woulda had my way i woulda had #1 by age 23...but apparantly someone upstairs doesnt want me to so im still waiting for #1

 

If you feel ready and you really want it the age doest matter. For me i dont want to have kids until im 25 or 26 years old.

 

I want one NOW and I am 25, but I also want all of my fiancee's attention just for me for at least another year so.

 

I am 18 years of age, and at the moment... I would like to have children before I am 25. I figure by this time I am still young enough to be there for a majority of their lives and that is something that i hold very important. Many people wait and to me that just seems stupid. We dont live for ever and I feel as though its better to have them young so you can experience more years of their lives and so that you are young enough and hopefully healthy enough to be the kind of parent who stays involved with your childs life.
