....u think it's better to try to have one in youth (18-20 y old) or to enjoy that period and extend ur family in a later moment like 30-35 y old????
Is it harder to grow a son/daughter being young or being mature???

I guess it is better to have a baby when we are still young. However, that is provided we have the means to take care of ourselves and the child. Also, would parenting be tough on young couples? Especially when they do not have much experience in the working society?

i think it depends from couple to couple.. it the lovers are mature even at 20s they could try to have a child, but if they are still young of head they have to wait..

Physically, I'm GLAD I had my son in my 20s. 30 year olds don't have the stamina that 20 year olds have, LOL.
I could not deal with the baby getting up every two hours these days.
Financially, people are usually more stable later in life.
There are pluses and minuses on both sides of the debate.
All I know is my son is here now and he came at the right time for me.

hey jonnyvi84
i had a chil at 20 almost 21 and i can tell you i am greatful now that i did. because i see other woman just starting to have children and they still have alot to go through and i look forward to being at peace having an older child while other mothers are starting a little late, and when i'm relaxing with early retirement they are still going to be putting up with teenagers! but i think the body has an easier time when your young and if you are picking about pounds which most us ladies are it will be easier to loose the baby weight the younger you as oppose to being older. the older women i have known said at times they were even a little embarrassed when they went into public because most of the soon to be mommies they saw where younger than they were. but you also have to consider the cost where you are at in your life and if you are ready to give up all freedom, we'll to an extent anyway. because you will learn a new concept called "where is the me time" other than that it is a wonderous experience being a mother my one and only is almost seven now and i am so glad that i had her 7 years ago instead of just starting at almost 30.
