Best Age to have kids

I think this is a perfect age to have children at. I had two very young and it was a struggle. I had little money and had to give up my college course. I got married at 23years and had another child. The following year I give birth to my youngest daughter. I think I was more ready and better off fiancially having my younger daughters. I think if you have a nice home and have a job and a little bit of money or a steady wage, then this is the perfect time to have your family. You will have more energy to look after them also than waiting intil you are older. You have an itch also so your children will be wanted and loved. I wish you well. Welcome to Mylot also.

for me, if u are emotionality , mentally, finanacially ready and u are ready to have the responsibility to be a parent then u will ready being a mom, i have my son when i was 22 and right not im enjoing having him in our life, i take good care of him alone for almost 3 yrs, now im happy cuz we finally here at his dad place. if i love being a mom , no matter how hRD IT SOMETHING TO BE MOM U WILL SEE THE HAPPINESS WHEN U SEE UR BABY.

I am 21 and already have a two year old. I think the average though is around 25. Most people think thats the best time. Doesn't mean its too soon for you. Its something that will change your husband and you both together. You have to really think about it. If you really want it and have no career to worry about then maybe its the right time. Just consider some of the changes to your lifestyle that will be made.

It's all depends on you and your husband if you are both ready to have kids. They said a marriage life will not be completed without kids, just like a tree without fruits. Before I told myself, that my ideal age to get pregnant and would want kids would be be twenty five, but then I am already twenty six and not successful with it. I still do hope to have one before I will reach to my thirty's but I doubt it. Blessings!

I agree with the other responses that it depends on the couple. However, healthwise, the earlier the better. I don't have kids yet but I am aware that it is a very serious step. My husband and I tied the knot 6 months ago and we feel we're now ready to have kids, which is fortunate since we know that it will be hard for us to conceive so it is best that we start asap

I didn't have my first child until my biological clock went off (32). Now I'm 35 and one of my daughter's friends has a 26 year old mother that still likes to go out to the clubs but needs to stay home a lot because of her child. She's not too resentful about that, but she has commented on my patience. I was not very patient when I was her age and I think it's just something that comes with age. If you're going to have a baby, you're going to need LOTS of patience. For me, my 20's were my fun-and-free time. I've known women who had their kids in their late teens and early 20's that reach their mid 30's and go buck-wild because they spent their fun-and-free years raising children. I was married when I was 22 and had that itch feeling too. We got pregnant (not on purpose) and placed the child in adoption. I was ready to have a baby but not raise one...we were both too young and still trying to figure out who we were. If the two of you want to be parents, and are pretty sure you know what you're getting yourselves into, by all means, have a baby and see how it works out. I know someone who had a chaild when he was 22 and is very happy to be a proud parent. He's in the Navy and only has to deal with his kids (now teenagers) only 1/2 a year at a time but his wife seems happy too. Good luck and.... Happy MyLotting!

i think it all depends on you and where you are in life. all my friends go the itch to try and succeed at the age of 17-18. now they're complaining that they have to be with their partners and they dont like having the responsibility even though they love their kids, they wish they had waited to at least go to college and get a good job. i think maybe some questions to ask yourself might be, are you financially stable, have you done a good amount of things that you wanted to do before having kids, and are you both physically and emotionally ready for a child? i guess in the end its really a question of where you are in your life. of course dont listen to me much as i havent had any kids yet, im just going by the complaints i hear most often. either way, good luck to you on that.
