What do you think is the right age for having first child?

Question

for man and woman?

Answer 1

Hard to say.  Each person is different and can handle situations at different times in their life.  Or, like me, I wanted to have kids when I was 20, but God didn't think I was ready until I was 30, when he finally allowed me to get pregnant.

Answer 2

I think around 27-29 is perfect!

Answer 3

well i really don't think there is a right age. However i do believe that there wrong ages. but i feel whenever you and your significant other are both financially and mentally stable

Answer 4

If you would like to have a healthy child then 27 is the best age.

Answer 5

I honestly think there's no right answer to this question. I think there are positives and negatives to being a young parent and an older parent!

Answer 6

Isnt that a loaded question?

There is no right age. It depends on the person. For my husband and I it was 18 and 24. We are happily married and are great first time parents.

on the other hand i know many other 18 year old moms that dont live up to their responsibilities. so, for them it wasnt the right age.

i think you should concentrate on the maturity level more than the number. thats what really counts.

Answer 7

22-30. You don't want to be too young & you don't want to be too old. You want to be able to mentally, financially, & emotionally handle any situation that comes along. You also don't want to be too old to relate to them or keep up with them.

Answer 8

im 23 and have a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old boy i love them to death but i dont get to live my life like most 23 year old i think the right age is when your ready to take on that responsibility and you have a stable life but to answer your question probably 25-30 you want to be able to enjoy being young an free but you also probably dont want them at an older age either.

Answer 9

I was 29 when I had my first.  I was glad I waited until then.  I was more mature and felt I was ready.  (my husband too, of course)

Answer 10

we were 19 and 21 but we were married had steady jobs and ahouse. i was never into the party stage either so i dont feel like i missed out on anything sometimes we do want to do things that its hard to do with a baby but youg et around that our baby was not planned and there were a few years before we had planned one but all in all we do ok its a personal decision i knew a friend that had hers at 16 and did a great job while one of our other friends pushed her kids onto everyone else

Answer 11

I'm 21 and my bf is 28 and I feel its the right age for me.  I have graduated from college with a Bachelor's.  I have a full-time job.  I'm not a partier.  I can't wait to see my lil' one.  My bf and I have a house and we can provide for our child.  I think it depends on the person.  Some can be ready at 18.  Some around 30.  There is no right age.
