I think you shouldn't be able to have children till you are at least 25, how old do you think it should be?

Answer 1

25 sounds good, i'd be willing to bump it up to 30

Answer 2

I believe that in some cases of people who get married young then you would be denying them of an experience. Children are a Gift from God and to say that statement in general like that lets me know that you don't have any gray areas in your life. we need gray areas to help us be more compassionate for other people. I didn't have children until I was 25 yrs old. If I would have met my husband even before 25 we probably would have had children then. (not more children, we are responsible.) I think you will understand in time that all things work according to the good of them who love God, and what God has for you is just for you. No matter your age.

Answer 3

i think it depends upon the maturity of the person...some people are very mature at 18 and up......and yes some of us are even MARRIED at 18 and up...so when you are mature and responsible and married even if its at 20...you can have a child..its up to you not to anyone else...and you can still achieve your goals and finish whatever higher learning you do, own your own business or whatever....being 25 does not make u mature...i know 45 year old who are not done growing up......

if you are a strongwilled person like myself ..your dedication and determination will guide you to achieve your goals whether you have a child or not. Some people want to use that old argument that a baby will hinder you or you wont be able to finish college etc...to me LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE...those are just excuses...say you dont have a baby..yet you dont finish college..whats the reason then?...you let SOMETHING ELSE HINDER you....life is hard period..baby or no baby...if its not one obstacle its another.....whether you have a baby at 18 or 55 you are still going to have to deal with the same situations and problems that go along with raising any child......

in conclusion..i believe as long as you are MATURE, and responsible and know in your heart you can take care of another human being other than yourself..then that decision is on you whether or not you want to procreate...

never let anyone try to dictate to you when is the appropriate time for this and that, because the truth of the matter is....there is no right time to have a baby.......you can wait for this and you can wait for that and by the time your done waiting life will have passed you by...we only have one life to live....only one.....

Answer 4

20

Answer 5

I was 25 when i had my first child , a daughter who is now 8 and i really was not ready for her at that age. I now am 34 and have an almost 5 month old boy. I am way more patient with him so with me, i should of waited til after 30 then had my daughter but my mom died in late jan 2006 and my daughter was her world so maybe that is why i had my daughter at 25 to make my mom's back pain temporialy go away and for her to see my daughter and meet her before she died

Answer 6

I really don't think their should be an age limit. Because a persons age really doesn't give you a good predictor of maturity. I've seen many 20 year olds that are much more mature than many 30 yr olds.

But it is amazing that we require a person to take a test to drive a car, but anyone can be responsible for a child.

Have a Good Day

Answer 7

I've known 20-year-old more mature than some 25-year-olds, so I don't think age should be a factor.

Instead, I think you should pass the same screening process for birthing a child as you do for adopting one.

Answer 8

I would say 20 or 21 in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. I think over 20 is when women and everyone in general are more mature or at least somewhat more mature as compared to when they were a teenager.

Answer 9

at the very least, out of highschool. at the very most, 35 or 36. after that, there are bigger chances of a genetic problem. the ideal time should be when you are married, have a stable marraige. have good money coming in, not neccesarily rich just comfortable, be willing to love your child unconditionally, have lots of patience, etc. just dont wait too long or you'll be old and gray by the time they get out of highschool, but not so young that you might not ever get a chance to get out and discover the world because you're too busy changing diapers and such. im not complaining, i had my first child at 21 yr. and my second and last at 36yr. i love them both and wouldnt change a thing!

Answer 10

If u are finacially, emotionally and physically able to support a baby then YES 25 is the perfect the age.

Answer 11

I feel that it should depend on your maturity level. I had my first at 18 and my 2nd at 19 but I'm doing a great job. My kids are happy and healthy. Their father works so I can stay home because we don't want our kids in daycare. We've never been on welfare. I did finish high school and I'm going to college next year. So, to answer your question, age shouldn't be a factor, maturity level should.
