How old is TOO old to have kids?

No, it's not. You have kids when you're ready. Not when someone else tells you to.

i think 35+..i think

also, just remember. If you wait until you can afford kids...you'll never have them!

No. I mean, your body is healthier at a younger age to have children, and, you're right, you have more energy. However, women are waiting longer these days to have kids because 1) they wait longer to get married, 2) they, along with their husbands, establish a solid career. 35 isn't too old, but if you want to have more than one, you might want to have them closer together because the older you get, the more risk there is of down syndrome.

i think if you both decide you'd like to have children it would be a good idea to do it before you were 35. how long have you known your boyfriend? if you've known him for over five years i'd say you guys know eachother well enough to bring another life into yours. thats my own opinion though. you have to think about the mile stones you'll encounter after the birth...going to school....learning to drive,...graduating...getting married. say your child gets married when he/she is 28...by then you'll be 63...do you want to be that old when your baby gets married? i dunno...i think about this alot, too. good luck :)

I would consider being in mid- to late-thirties too old for the woman. I don't think it really matters how old the male is, but I would say anything after 50 is too old for the men. If they conceive when they are older than that I would think they would die or become elderly while the child was still relatively young and I consider that selfish! However, I suppose as long as a doctor declares a woman physically fit to bear a child it's fine. I would still suggest under 40 at the latest. In the early 30s is fine in my opinion and is probably when I will have my own children. I am 28 now and don't think I will be having a child for at least another year or two.

No I dont think that is too old!! I think your as young as you feel, my friend is 35 and she is pregnant with her 5th child, and get this she not even christian!! She just loves kids!!

I don't think that is too old to start having a family. My mother was 29 when she got my brother and 33 when she received me. They did perfectly well in raising us, although my mother has also suffered from depression, like yours. She always put the kids as a first priority and my parents decided to wait that long till they paid off the debts for the house etc. My mother could always manage the strain pretty well, but my father, who is 8 years older than her, is another topic. When my brother reached puberty and got really cheeky at times, my father lost his nerves very fast. I read somewhere that this can also be linked with age. They argued every single day. Even now, as my brother is already 21, their relationship is not the best because of this past. The depression of my mother also grew deeper because she couldn't bear to see them argue all the time. Nontheless, I do not think this is to old. If you are feeling comfortable with it, if you think you can manage the strain of a kid who is undergoing puberty when you are already 50, then it is okay to wait that long. But you should probably avoid getting pregnant after reaching 40years, as the medical risks are rising rapidly from that age on. I wish you good luck in whatever decision you make!
