What Is The Best Age...?

Question

What is the best age to start a family? :)

Answer 1

Think about your own childhood - and how you would have liked it.  Children have needs - a decent home, emotional and financial security, enough clothes, hobbies and activities.  The best age is when you can properly afford to bring up a child, when you're in a stable relationship and when you have finished yur education, etc and are ready to settle down.

I was a mother at 21, 23, 32 and 36.  It's not about age, it's about who you are, the kind of life you have led and what you have to offer.

Answer 2

when ever you are ready and in a stable relationship..

i would say 25-30 is good.

Answer 3

It's not a matter of age, but a matter of maturity.  It takes a great deal of emotional and physical endurance to go through pregnancy and then raising those children.  I would say if you're wanting a to start a family write doen all the major areas of your life ( finances, career, marriage, etc) and then write down how you think starting a family will effect those.

Answer 4

After 21. Depends on your life. Some people at 21 haven't had enought clubbin and can just legally drink alcohol. But me, at 21 I was tired of clubbin, I was doing that since I graduated high school. Drinking isn't a big thing for me. When I turned 21, I drank a multi array of alchol in 6 months time, and it all had the same effect and a lot of it was gross..... so I was done with that. So it depends on when your ready..... after 21.  

I would suggest getting married first. I know things happen. Technically I'm a single mother, but if you're married to the one you love it's more enjoyable to have a baby together, instead of this crush getting your pregnant and running off after the baby is born.

Unfortunately in my daughters father and I, had been together for 1 straight year at the time, but on and off for 7 years. We've known each other now for 10 years. He doesn't call, doesn't visit, and doesn't pay the child support, so just be careful

Answer 5

I think about 22-27?

Answer 6

I would say mid to late 20's. That way you've had time to mature and get your life ready and still enough "me" time, but u'd stil be young enough to keep up with all their energy. I became a mom in my teens, had three by 20 and had one more b4 24 and I couldnt have done it with out my energy, but wish I would have had more time with my husband first and wish I had bought and remodled my house first, it is really hard remodling it with 4 kids.

Answer 7

well, i have no idea how old you are but the best age to start a family is around 25. i think its a reasonable age because most are done with school, college, etc. around this time. but remember, children are a big responsibility. they are not something you can just throw out in the garbage. think about this descision and make sure you're old enough to raise a family. as well as that, make sure the man that is the soon to be father is a good person. so he wont walk out on you. good luck and i hope you have a great family!(:

Answer 8

Age???  I'm 36, and just had my first baby.  I can't imagine having started sooner--I wasn't ready.  I finally feel comfortable with my life (my husband and I have a house and good jobs) and confident as a parent.  Plus, I don't ever feel I'm "missing out" because I did all my partying and traveling already.  My husband had his first at 23 and feels he was WAY too young.  Find what's comfortable for u.

Answer 9

I got married at the age of 18 to a great man and had my baby at 20.  Luckily I didn't listen the the world and society because now at 25 I have just had to have a hysterectomy.  So it is best to start a family when you feel it is right and no one else.  Good Luck and God Bless!

Answer 10

Get married and live as a couple for a couple of years and then have a baby.
