what was your age when you became a parent ?

I was 20 years old at that time. I was still so young but I was so in love with my girlfriend at that time so we got married.

I became a parent the to my oldest son when I was 22 years old. My marriage lasted for six years and then I became a single parent. My oldest son is now a sensible and intelligent teenager. He will be aged 15 years next month. Surprisingly I went on to become the parent of two more children. I had my youngest son when I was 34 years old. It is sad to find out about his disability one month before he was born. He has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. It is challenging for me because he isn't able to walk. Last year my daughter was born. I was 36 years old at that time. My second son will celebrate his third birthday in May and my daughter will turn one in June. She is currently 9 months old. I love having my three wonderful children. I am a primary school teacher. I have always liked children and babies. Parenting is rewarding in so many different ways. Seeing my baby smile melts my heart. I like to hear my toddler son laugh and it is delighted how his speech development is coming along.

Hi aweins. I was 21, almost 22 years old, when I had my first child (my 22nd birthday was just a few days away). I became a mom again a few days after my 25th birthday. My two definitely keep me on my toes and can drive me up the wall, but I love both of them. They are my babies, after all! LOL Happy mylotting!

i was turning 24 when i had my 1st daughter, i was a single mom then so that was really a big challenge on my part. but i have a very supportive family who help me raising my cute angel. i am a full time only for 3 months, after that i went to work and my mother and father was the one who cares for my daughter. when she was with 3 i took her with me so she could go to school, while i am at the office. at a very young age, she acts really mature, we eventually grow up together. we are inseparable. now, that i just got married and is pregnant for my second baby, and my eldest is turning 6, it will be a different experience again. because my father has already passed away, and he will not be there to give me advices in raising my second one. my husband is away for work, but i thank GOD that i have my elder daughter and my mother who will be with me in making parenting easier.

I am 25years old and my first baby was a girl. We are both happy to have a baby and that is the moment that I cannot forget in my entire life. At last I found out that I am really a woman who can bear a baby inside my womb and now enjoying the three kids. Love to be a mother.

The age to be parents here is about 30 years old. I think it has been very late. The young couple are facing higher pressure today, pressure of housing, bringing up kids, giving money to old parents, paying for the bills, inflation, etc. So before fully prepareing for these pressure, young couple will not take the risk to have a baby.

When I became a mother for the very first time I was 19. I had a girl that is now five and I was 24 when I had my son. My daughter is usually very calm and relaxed when her brother is not home, my son was a very quiet baby that never cried. He is very active now that he is two. I love to spend time with them as much as I can. I love to take them to new places and exposing them to as many wonderful things as possible.

Yes, I believe it's a blessing and a curse to become a parent (just kidding). I became a mom when I was 18. My mom made it easier because she was there, although there are the disadvantages always having her around (until now) , but I guess I can't deny the fact that she was a lot of help to us. I was still studying then in college, now I've graduated so quite a lot has changed about me, my attitude, my life, everything. I love how kids inspire their parents to become good parents , basically to become good in everything, or even better. Anyway I'm happy for you and your baby. It's called a blessing :)

I had my first child when I was 31, and my second when I was 35. Someone asked me when I had my first child how did it feel to be a mom, and I said it was different. Now I laugh about that, but at the time I had no real clue what being a mom was like. I lived my whole twenties partying, doing what I want, and being responsible to no one but myself. My two children are very unique to themselves, and have their own complexities. I love them both very much, and would not trade them for anything. The are almost six, and almost ten.

I became a parent at the age of 27 with a boy believe me their appetite is unlimited & very hyper he always get cuts & bruises everywhere. But I just love him too much that he is the center of attraction to all of us. the happiness that having a child brought us is not the same happiness that the child brings to us.

I got pregnant when I was 22 years old. It's funny that I was a newbie in that field. When I move around or when I act at that time, my friends say that it was as if I was not pregnant. I guess the reason for me being hyper was I kept on drinking icy Coke just to eased up on my morning sickness. It was a good thing I didn't have diabetes for drinking it a lot. Prior to giving birth, I went into excruciating five-hour labor that eventually ended up in C-section. Being a newbie at that time, I was very scared of holding or carrying the baby. She was so fragile. Sigh! How time flies! More than a decade later, I now have 3 daughters age 13, 9 and 7 years old. I miss holding a baby in my arms.

I was twenty two years old when I became a mother for the first time and twnety nine when I had my second daughter. I had never really been the maternal type, but when I had met and married my Mr right, it was the next natural progression I suppose. I agree that it is a very difficult job, full of worry and angst, but worth every second of the sleepless nights. I love being a mum, it's the most rewarding job in the world and I am so lucky to be able to be a stay at home mum so i can be with my children as much as possible. To be honest I am dreading the day that they fly the nest and don't need me anymore, I'm just thankful that it will be a good few years yet before that becomes a reality.

I am 20 and still not a mother..I don't see myself as ready for it at this time. I'm in college and am not financially viable. I'm also waiting til I'm married before I have children. I have 2 cousins that already have children...one had her child when she was 18. She was definitely not ready to be a mother..and HER mother acts like the baby's mother..instead of my cousin.
