What age would you have kids?

I had my kids at 27 and 31. I wasn't ready before, or even the first time really, lol. I got to havea lot of fun when I was younger and wouldn't have mised it for the world. I think idealy I shouldn't have started myfamily until I was about 30.

Well, I am 23..I have 2..I had my first when I was 20 and my second when I was 23. I think that It all depends on the situation you are in and what best fits in your life plan...me, I want a lot of kids, and I also want to be able to relax and enjoy life once they are grown. I want to be able to enjoy my children and grandchildren, and hopefully if things work out right, my great grand children. So, that is what works best for me. Others may have different life plans, which is fine. It all depends on how each person decides to live their life, and I dont think any way is the right way. Whenever someone feels the need to have a child, that is what is right for them.

Well I never had kids, which was my choice entirely, but I've always thought older was better. I guess I did actually put it off, and put it off thinking maybe one day i would fell "ready" but I never was........ but I certainly don't think it's a great idea to have kids at 18 or 19, when you haven't really lived your own life at all. Of course it works for some people, and some very young girls are great Mums, and good luck to them, - but I think finding yourself, getting a career, and travelling a bit, is very important before you dedicate your life to having children - soI would say around 30 is best.

I prefer to have kids at the age of 28-30. i think during that period i will be settled enough to look after them:)

I wanted to have kids as early in life as possible. My husband and I started trying when I was 16 (he was my boyfriend until age 20). It looks as though this is not to be, since I am now 27 without any children. I am now just hoping that I have children at all, I don't care when anymore.

I am 26 - I have an 8 year old step son (met them when he was 5) and an 18 month old son. And I'd have to say if I could tell myself backward in time when to have kids, I would say (and don't take this the wrong way)... Never. See, I have hobbies, and things I enjoy doing. I'm not bored, I can always find something to do - reading, programming, playing games, watching TV... And kids take all of your time and attention and energy and leave you with work and sleep. Not that I don't love them, just that they stole my life. That's all (lol)

well,i am thinking about it in these days.i am 22,many of my age friends wannn have a baby..me,i still feel so young...anyway,i am in very stabile relation,we live for 3 years together..maybe its the time for me..i really dont know..i think if baby should come to our life i wount say no and i would never do abortion..i think baby should coma naturality and i dont want to plan it:)

I don't intend to ever have children. I just don't like them.

I had my first at 21, my second at 31. Made the HARDEST decision of my life when I put my first up for adoption - did what was right for her though. At 21 I was NOT prepared (financially or emotionally) to be responsible for a child. She will be 30 years old on March 31, 2007....and to this day, I still have not had any contact with her. :( When I had my second daughter at 31, I was better prepared to be a parent (a single mother no less). Did I have more patience with age? Yes to some extent - but didn't help with the "new mother jitters" any though lol. We kinda muddled our way through the early years....and she turned out just fine - she will be 20 in May. What I still to this day cannot understand are teenagers who try so hard to become pregnant - being a parent is hard work - the baby can't just be put on a shelf when the teeny bopper wants to go out and have fun with her friends....have seen too many cases of that here in my hometown unfortunately :(

I would have my kids a little later in life I think. I have more patience now that I am older.

It depend on you, i'm 25 turning 26. My honey said its the best time to have babies, so maybe when i turn 26/27 i'll have my first baby. Then another when im 29 and another when im 31 and last when im 33 (IF GOD PERMITS IT). To have two kids is great, i guess i just really love kids though its hard to bring them up, i believe they are all BLESSINGS.

I'll have kids when im alreadt settled and have money to feed them on my own. Probably 27, because I know by that time im already earning. But we'll never know. I want a big familt I might start young like 24. haha.. :)) i guess we'll see. If i found the right man by that time why not.

at this rate, maybe never! bwhahahaha! i really don't care about what age.. i just need to be ready before popping out mini me's..

I'm now 27 and still not ready. I'm scare that I wont be able to have my freedom anymore, freedom on my career and freedom to go anywhere and anytime I want to. I know since the 1st day I have one, I will be committed to my baby for many years (at least 16 years). It's pretty scary and can be stress too. Hopefully I would be ready before I reach 35. We're not in a hurry to have a baby tho.

I have been on both ends of this spectrum.....I had my boys when I wwas 18 and 20 and my girl came when I was 35. I liked being older because I was more confident, but that was dues to having the two boys I think. I ended up being a grandmother before the age of 40, but that isn't all bad. I have 4 grandkids now, and I am still young enough to enjoy them. But both ends have advantages as well as disadvantages.
