I'm 24, recently married, settled into a career and home. when is it right to have a child?
Answer:
when you feel ready, have the time and money, when you are sure your marriage is strong enough and that your husband wants one as well...i see way to many people having kids to make the other one happy and both are not 100% on board with the baby idea.this is really bad. make sure he really wants one too maybe the best time is when you know you are ready and he starts asking and letting you know he is ready too.
When you feel like you are ready!
When you are BOTH financially and emotionally ready and capable.
u sound like you are all financially set up but its up to you if u feel you are ready to become a perant
whenever YOU feel ready. sounds like you're not
after ur make lotss of $$$ and settle ur self in a nice place..yah.
Definitely wait at least 5 years. You'll gain a better feel of what you'd like your parenting style to be from observing other young parents and you'll have a few years of just you and your new husband.
When you feel like the timing is right between you. You will feel it when the time comes.
When you feel that you have travelled, done home improvements, etc enough to not have to do them for a long time. Once you have kids, those things become very difficult. Also, make sure you have enjoyed being married and have really gotten into a good groove as a couple first. Make sure you have similar philosophies on child-rearing topics like nutrition, discipline, who does what when, etc. Once you feel you have all that worked out and have a pretty good plan, then go for it!
I believe you should think about having kids when you are finally, mentally & physically stable..
Congratulations & Good Luck with your new life.
There's never a right time. If you and your spouse both know in your hearts that you want a child at this time..go for it! Don't worry about money, career and all that junk. A baby will usually just work itself into your life (and eventually take over but in a good way).
As long as your marriage is stable and you have a roof over your head.it's the right time. But, you are still young and have plenty of time to think about it.
I would say now, while you are young & can grow w/your child
When your lady is 28 and 30.
Financially, have all debts paid off except the home mortgage. And you should have enough money in the bank to last 6 months without pay. Birth of baby is stressful to the new parent. You want to minimize any stress from money problems.
And have most or all home remodeling work done before baby arrives.
Since you're recently married, I would recommend that you wait couple years to enjoy just each other's company. The next time you'll be by yourself will be in 20~25 years from the birth of your last child.
Think about how old you will be when your youngest child will finish college. That should tell you when you should have your babies.
Well when you feel you are ready, Nobody is EVER ready or prepared but when you feel like you have accomplished everything you wanted too and you think you are ready to take on the responsibility of a little one then you should start trying. If you still have things you wanna do and you know you wouldn't be able to do them with a child then go out have Fun go and do things, explore, not that you cant have fun with a child but it does make things alot easier and convenient
they say to wait 5 years after you are married to make positive sure the marriage is what you want it to be and is going to work---I certainly wouldn't do it right away--you and your new partner should enjoy married life alone together for a while--once you have children everything changes--get more into your career-take some nice vacations together.good luck
That depends on how you and your husband feel. Last year I went through almost the same thing. I just got married with career, already in house, and I found out we were pregnant. So, if you are ready and he is ready, go for it!
When you and your new spouse believe your ready. Talk about it agree together. A child is another blessing to all you already have. So good luck deciding.
No one can honestly answer that but you.My advice would be dont wait to late,start now and get it over with.I think its harder when your older.

Whenever you and hubby are ready! It is nice to wait a year or two tho to have time to yourselves for a bit!
Good luck!
Enjoy your marriage for a few years and then think about it.
I say wait until you've been married at least 2 years first!!! My hubby and I started trying (and are still trying) for our first baby after four years of marriage. All my hubby's cousins are having babies within their first year of marriage, I think they are missing out on important hubby/wife bonding times.
