thinking about having kids... at what age????

[cakestripe]

I think people should stop having kids for a while... There are too, too many... The world's population is getting near 9 billion, and Earth's resources are becoming strangled!

I was 22 and 29.  Both of them were pleasant surprises.

lol I don't think EVERYONE should stop... just the people who have them and cannot afford them. Also, the ones who *bleep* them off on their grandparents, babysitters, or anyone else so they can go get drunk, etc..

to avoid any controversial debate/attack i would like to clarify that THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, FORGED FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
i had my son when i was 18 and raised him as a working single-mother. i had my daughter when i was 26 (my husband was almost 36) and was so fortunate to be able to bring her into a stable home, not only with my husband/her father here, but also with the privelige to be able to stay home and raise her. so i feel like the best time to have kids is when you can bring that child into a stable and committed family (meaning married parents) with the financial stability that will allow mom to stay home and take care of the child. if a person can not do that or will not do that, i honestly feel that person hould really consider why they want kids.

I was 26 when my daughter was born.

The only right time to have kids is when it is right for you.  I'm not talking finances or anything else.  I'm talking about when you want that child and you are ready to do anything for the child.  If you aren't mentally ready, then you aren't ready, even if you're 40.

I've already made my contribution to society...2 sons...hallelujah!

I'm 24 and married and I wouldn't mind having a child at this point in my life. However, my husband thinks we should wait a few years....5 years to be exact. He says that at that point, we will both be mentally and financially ready. I don't know about him, but I consider myself ready in both aspects. Who knows though? Having children isn't always a planned project if you know what I mean!

I gave birth to 4 females. I love them , But-------IF I had known then what I know now, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO KIDS!!

Children are the worst investment you will ever make.
