What is the best age in your opinion to have children?

Question

Because I am not getting any younger!

Answer 1

When you are...educated, have money, job, etc, have been w/a peson that you love and loves you too, and last but not least: When you are READY!!

Answer 2

Its not about age, its about experience. If you have done your 'seed sowing' and are ready to make the sacrafices that parenthood requires (which often includes social life, extra money, and naps, hee hee) then you become a parent, so that you can be a GOOD one.  

Answer 3

I decided when I was young to wait until I was in my mid-twenties and married before having any children. I had my first at twenty eight, 2nd at 29, 3rd at 30(g.surrogate 4 sis) and my last at 32. As long as you are prepared, you can have a child. It goes better when you know what you are about to get into. A child is a 24/7 responsibility and it lasts a lifetime. So take your time and find that right person to have a child with because you also have to deal with that person for a long time too. Good luck!!

Answer 4

I would think the best time would be after you have finished school.

Because if you had children before then and you were busy working and studying then you would not have enough time/energy/money/resources to devote to your kids and give then the attention they need. And if you wanted take a break from one on one care for the whole entire time you have to send them to daycare which costs a lot of money.....

Age wise i would say between in the late twenties or thirties would be the best age to have a child. If you have a child when you are too young then you will not be able to care for him properly, if you have one when you are too old it might be more difficult to relate to him, and it's true that you aren't getting any younger. When he is a teenager you might be too old to keep up with him and actually pay attention to what he is doing.  

Answer 5

i was 18 when first kid born

if i'd been plannin it ...25-30yrs old...cos when they're 18 you're only 43-48 so you are still young enough to enjoy life and them ,if they have kids at 30 you'll be bout 60 at oldest so you can [again] have enough energy to babysit and enjoy it ...and when you finally reach 80 and need to live with the kids ..they are 50ish and shoudlnt hate it lol

nothing wrong with children at any age though but personally wouldnt go over 40 cos the timeline for kids/grandkids is lower [as you may suffer ill health and die before you can enjoy some of that]

my gran was 40 when mum born ,my gran pa 45 ...he died when i was 15days old ..she when i was 9 and i know it affected my mum cos she wanted to raise us with them in our lives [we've always been allowd to talk of them and all but its not the same as spending tme with them]

my son is 9 he reckons hes gonna live with me til hes 30 get married and move out then when i am 'wrinkly'[as he puts it] i can live with them ,love my boy ...my daughter is 7 and just wants her own house ,so no rules and all fun  

Answer 6

When you are out of school/ or college, have a well-paying job (kids aren't cheap!), are stable and happy in a relationship, are content with where your life is and want to take the next step forward, financially stable, mature and emotionally ready to handle the responsibility of parenthood.

Answer 7

I had my son at 35.  I had plenty of time to travel, party and live life to the fullest while I was "young".  I wouldn't change it for the world!  When I had him I was ready to settle down, give up the social activities, the naps anytime, the new clothes every week etc etc.  I'm now 44 years old and when I look at the kids I went to school with that had kids early, I am in better health, better spirits etc etc, my son keeps me young!  All the bike rides, swimming, playing catch has kept me in good shape!  Can you imagine having a kid at age 20 and by age 40 you could be a grandparent!

Answer 8

When you can handle the responsibility of the child. But i really don't think there is an age as long as your happy and you can take proper care of it, have a job and finished high school at least. just make sure your happy and its what you truly want.
