Age

Makala: When is the best age to have children??

I hope to wait until 24

Alessa: i think over 27

Makala: ok

natowar: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! you've barely finished school and have a grand total of 0-2 years of life experience... have kids? Why not see the world , learn some things , figure out who you are and what you can accomplish in the world? let's not be here simply to breed for the sake of it. Just my opinion (psssst- don't do it!!)

Alessa: i totally agree

live ur life first then think abt a family

breezy: 25

otcclass: I don't there is a perfect age to have kids... just whenever YOU feel your body is ready to have kids...

looloo09: i would defo say travel the world live a little then settle down! i had mi son when i was 19! dont get me wrong they are the best thing that could possibly happen to u buh your only young u have your hole life ahead of u live it while you can!

chebmo: the best age to have kids is when ur over 30. live your life first.

countrycutie7385: I dont think there is a perfect age because no matter how ready you think you are to be a parent you arent lol ..... But there are a few things that might make it easier for you to be a parent. like being finacial stable, having a great partner or support system, Being on ur own and knowing how to handle adult responsiblities.(paying bills)

tygersclaw: For me, it was age 52, but for others it is 15. It all depends on each person.

And remember that way back when, girls would be considered old enough to get married at age 13. But that is not the case anymore (somewhat thankfully)

guard1tn: as a old man of 64 I believe when you are ready for children you will no longer be a child and face life. Monetarily, functionally and mentally.
Monetarily, you can survive and have all the bills paid or well on their way. It is expensive to raise a child...it's not just diapers and formula.
functionally you need a good job...to get that you must know people and/or have a good job. That means educating yourself. Mentally, you must be able to control your self and gain education, money and the abilities to function. please feel free to talk with me anytime.

lindamomanwif: i have to say it depends on the couple if you go by age you fight over that for years if you go by having the money to not worry about anything your going to wait untill your are to old to enjoy the fun of the child can give, some say 2 years some say 5 just enjoy life and if it happens do not get mad or upset just love each other and the new life you both made as you know thing alwasy wil work out

kittybobo34: Wise words Tygersclaw, My brother adopted at 34, found out he faces retirement and college tuition at the same time. But, from the kids point of view, younger parents are better.

SCSilk: When a couple is emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, and ethically ready to raise a child for 25 years.

kittybobo34: SC, ,Wouldnt be many kids born if everyone waited for the above to be true.

SCSilk: I did say best. Not required. .

Angry Beaver: My first was born when I was 27, I found that to be a good age as my ex and I were financially well off and had a decent home to raise them in, the other 2 came along when i was 30 and 35..... Now it's good as they are old enough to look after my needs lol

FedericaCalif: I had my first at 16. Yes it was hard then but now it is so great. Have them when you are ready and they will keep you younger.

Angry Beaver: Mine constantly tell me I'm an old fart!
