Answer:
A bit of advice...I'm 38 with a 2 yo and 6 month old. You will NEVER BE fully ready, and it is NEVER TOO late. it will be the most challeging thing and the most rewarding. I made the mistake of waiting for this or that "first". What you need to realize is that building a career first, or schooling is goood and noble...there's a limit and you should realize that having kids isn't just another plateau...it's a life changing shift. I've changed jobs while I have had kids...and plan to go back to school.these first years are filled with sleepless nights and baby feedings etc. But MY life isn't over...I'm still going. If I had waited till I was financially "SET" and in my perfect job...it would have never happened. The time is right for you when the time is right. I would suggest that you both pursue your goals...like school and such...get on the path.see how hard that is. Get used to that. Get stable a bit...then ask yourself are you ready. If you are willing to be loving dedicated parents- then your ready. You will build your life around your kids anyway. I have kids and I still wonder if I'm ready, but that is a mark of a good parent, wanting the best. My secret is that I GIVE my best, and make my time with them the best...then you can't go wrong. So NO certain time is right. ps...and on discipline and all...you will have to be a parent FIRST and a friend SECOND.because your kid needs guidance and assurance much more than coddeling. believe me.you will find all kinds of love and "friendship" WHILE parenting. My sons are my two buddies... and were going to race match boxes once he wakes up from his nap...which he did not want to take...but cried...then past out. (discipline AND FUN.he NEEDS both). Good luck.
I think late 20's is a good time.
mmm.. probably 27-30. thats a good age..
20's. Its hard to say for other people. When you feel ready, but definately 20's!! Good luck!
I dont think age matters. When you and your spouse or significant other are ready to give up your needs for a little one and you are financially secure then its the best time to have kids.
Late twenties to early thirties. By then you have settled into your jobs and you have matured enough to handle the responsibilities of raising the children.
sometimes in ur mid to late 20's. As long as your financially ready. The younger the better for u both. She'll still be young and bounce right back from a baby, plus when your kids are older your still young enough to do things with them as if you were friends and not just parents. My mom had me at 25 and her and I are that way with one another. I had my daughter at 21, and her father was 31. Were 22 and 32 now. We had her a little soon for me but that was cause he didn't want to be close to 40 having a baby...Good Luck!
when you become maried!!
maybe that age is gooood cause it seems reasonable. cause you can still get to play with them jsut as you said!! Congrats to you TO! God bless you!
i think 25 and 26 are good ages. good luck!
physically, 20's are the best time for having kids. Just be sure that you are also emotionally & financially ready as well. I was 26 when I got pregnant and glad I got thru all those partying years, so I don't feel cheated in any way.
As far as being young enough to be friends with your kids, just remember that your children will always have friends, but they'll only have one mom & dad, and discipline is needed for them to grow & mature into responsible adults.
There are pro's and cons to this. I waited until I was 31 & 32 to have my children. I was settled down, mature and had good advice for my children. I was still in good physical shape too. I believe that if you two are ready for children (maturity wise) then any legal age is good. My daughter had her first at 20 and she is a great mother but she really didn't have "her" own time and I think that she should have waited. You only have one life.
Hummm...i don't know...i think 27 - 30 are good ages.
bye!!
I had my first at 21 aND 2nd at 25...I can honestly say I wish sometimes I had a tiny person around.until now at 36 I wonder where would I get the energy...being younger I could run through the ball pits a discover zone and play ground...now...I need a nap even to have a girls night out...and that is from 10-2 once in a blue moon..i would say to you, now is the perfect time...grow up with them.this way when they are teens...like 1 of mine you are not so far off on what they are going through. My parents had me at 39...only child...by the time I hit the teens...they had no idea or even remembered what it was like. GOOD LUCK
20-30
any younger and your still just a kid yourself
but you also want to be fit enough to run around with your kids and to do things with them, and live long enough to see them grow up and get married.
