The other day I was having dinner with two of my colleagues and I am still wondering about their comments.
They tried to persuade me into getting married and having kids troughout the dinner time. Saying that it's better for promotions at work and the best time for girls to get married and have kids was from 24-27 and 25-28 for men, in which their physical state are the best. I argued and argued because I planned to have kids at 30 at least.
Then they provided a lot of reasons to prove they were scientific. Some of the points got me to think. We are not like our ancestors because for the whole day we just sit in the office and machines have got all our hard work done, we are lack of exercise; the food we eat nowdays are not as natural and healthy as before; the environment we are living in also becomes worse. So we should have kids not at a very late age.
Are we back in the fashion to have kids at an early age again, like in the 20's rather than 30's or 40's? When do you plan to have a kid and what age period do you think the best for having a baby? I am hesitate to marriage and having kids:(

You are hesitating to marry,but not denying.I agree with your colleagues.If you are late twenties it is now proper time to marry.If you marry after thirty there is every risk of carrying child.There may be problem in the time of delivery.Your colleagues gave you good advice.In the future there is no possibility of better environment.We have to take more worse food.Situation is gradually going downword inthe whole world.So don't hesitate to marry now and send a card.

I love children! i find them amusing and interesting little creatures. They are the cutest things on earth and the thought of them being my responsible is just plain nice. Though I understand the amount of work to bring up this little creatures, I think its worth while to do it while we are young and still up to the challenge.
Though some people might think they want to further their career before settling down. The amount of sleepless nights might scare most people from having children. I would like to have children around the age of 26.
But, before you get children, you need a life partner. Have you found yours? Let's not skip the necessary steps, go get your man (or woman). Then in a few years time after all the courting and such, it would be just perfect in time to get a couple of children to make your family perfect! Cheers! :)

Good that you like children so much. The point is I am not that into children and marriage is ok. I prefer the world of only two, but I know in the end, I have to have a baby and if so, should I have it earlier? Or should I focus on my career now and when I got to the stage of a high position and I also the feeling of baby?
