If a woman is 21, married, an owner of a large, brand new home, a college student, and desires to have a newborn child, should she be able to have one? She is financially and emotionally able to provide a child with a stable and happy home. What do you think???

I don't believe in the proper age, but rather the proper state. And if you feel that you are in the "proper" emotional, physical and financial state to provide for this child for the rest of your life, then by all means, have a child.
If she and her husband want a child, then, why not? Only you can determine the proper time.

This will be the perfect time to have a baby if both the partners are ready for the responsibility after all giving birth to a life and then taking care of it is not a joke. So think thoroughly before taking this step. But being pregnant and giving birth is the best experience a woman can have in her whole life. All the Best. Go for it. God Bless.

Having "stuff" and being able to provide isn't all what having a baby is about. I had my daughter when I was 23 and my son at 30. I was married and it was tough. It's not easy to balance kids, school, work and etc....And it doesn't get "easier". There are the activities , homework, playtime ....it leaves very little if no "me" time. I'd say wait...enjoy more of YOUR life, because once you have a baby, it's all about them...You do everything to make them happy, to ensure that they will succeed. iT'S not a bad thing, I love my two to death. There are times when I look at them and my whole heart just swells and my eyes get all teary...They are my sweethearts! But I do wish I would have waited just a bit, to have done a few more things that I would have liked to do...So, good luck to you in whatever you decide.

I believe that if you feel you are ready and it sound like you are then dont let people discourage your decision. However since you are a college student that is something that you need to think about. Do you want to finish college or do you want to be a mom. Children take alot of time. I have been a stay at home mom for 8 years and I can honestly say I Am My Kid Mom. Good luck

If a women can provide for a baby, both emotionally and financially, there is no reason on earth , why she shouldn't have a child, if she desires one.

Well to the previous poster, I was 30 when I had my dd. When I was younger I was told I wouldn't be able to conceive. We stopped trying and then we got our precious surprise. I thank God for our miracle everyday!
To answer your questions, babies are hard work. I am a SAHM and work part time from home. My hubby works from home but there is never enough time. Babies always need constant attention. My dd can't be awake without someone playing with her. She is very smart therefore she need constant attention.

Clearly this woman is too young if she has to ask this question. Owning a brand new home and all the other things are irrelevent. If she were honestly emotionally ready she wouldn't need to ask.

I dont see why not. But you may want to talk to your partner! Im currently 21 and having a baby, and I see nothing wrong with it. Ive seen 16 year olds have children and are better parents than 30 year olds. So it just depends on the woman and their partner!

yes, if you are ready then go for it, my favorite names even though you did not ask are for boys, Eric, Robert(that is mine) Thomas, for Girls Emily, June, Susan, Rebbecca, and Karin. Good luck. You sound very responsible in your decision, the only thing you need to do is think about where you see yourself in 5, or 10 years, will you be able to finish college, what about starting a career, child care etc...
