When do you think is the best age to have your child? Is it good when the child comes earlier in the life on people or later? What are advantages and disadvantages of having a child young? What do you think about the expresion "A child with children"?

Having a child is not about age, is all about when both of you are ready to commit your time and love to bring up a child or children. The first child is always the difficult decision as it will change your life style completely, your life will be surrounding the new born. The subsequent child is easlier.

Yes, it is about age because 18 year-old girl is not ready to have a child. However, thanks for your sharing.

I think it depends on if you can afford it.Above all ,you got a decent pay much enough for your family.If you can not afford it, then maybe some years later you can get marry.But one thing i got to point out is the generation larger if you get married at an late age.wish you good luck and good day.

The later you getmarried the better it is for you. You'll feel younger if your children are young wen you are 35 years old.

Though it depends totally on the couple, but the best age I think to have a child is about 30. If delayed further beyond 35 then it causes pending of liablities after retirement age. Also early marriage and child at about age 25 or below creates many uncertainities in career and education plannings. So one must be very careful of this in this world of uncertainities in career and education. Tanks for this specific topic.

I don't really support that idea of "A child with children".. There shud ofcourse be a certain age when anyone can have children, and according to me the correct age to have children shud be between 25-30.. Anything earlier than that is too early...

It shouldnot be later than 28 i think.Person with a stable job and a decent income tend to get married not later than this age.

Yes, because the risk for a woman who has a babt after 30 is bigger than for those who has a baby earlier. But with the medicine nowadays it is better not to have a baby when you are nto ready no matter that later you may be at risk. However, I don't understand people who have their children before 22.

I think it depends on the couple. But I know I want kids at a young age. I want to be young enough to run around with them and still have close to thier energy level. I know I'd have an easier time getting up at all hours of the night now, rather than years from now.

I think the best age would be within 25 to 30yrs. By this time the woman is mature enough both in body and mind to take on the responsibilities of motherhood. She also has a regular career, if she chooses to and is settled in life financially or otherwise. Another thing is that if you finish having your family by the time you are 30yrs, your children will be grown up adults by the time you are 50yrs. that’s a big plus point, coz after years of toiling, saving and burning the midnight oil, you at last get time after 50 to look after yourself and your indulgences. Its best if you can complete your family duties before that.

i think about 27-30 for man would be nice. In my opinion person should be educated, independent, have a reliable proffesion in order to have a normal life. I know that in U.S for woman to have a child the median is 25 and up to 30.
