Sweetie, There is no such thing as a right time or a wrong time to have kids.I mean its not good to have them if u are still very young yourself.Cause it does make it hard to go to school and make away to take care of the kids properly.But if u are ready and able to be a good parent then it is OK.U just need to be ready to love unconditionally and meet all the unconditional demands that come with being a parent and some people are ready in there early 20's and others are not ready in there late 60's everyone is different.so as long as u love them and are there for them and put them first them there u go u are ready and the right age.

Wow girl you have got ALOT on your plate! Keep your head up.
I think having children is more common in the early 20s now a days. My best friend is 24 and due with her 3rd child soon (for all you judgemental people she is married and has been for years' owns her own house 2 cars and they live very comfortably and not off of the government in any way).
Enjoy the fact that you had your 3 angels at a young age. You will be young enough to sympathize when they need it as they grow up.
I wish you the best of luck and hope you can get a break when you feel you need it. :)

Only you can know the answer to your question. I personally am 23 and going to have my first, however my sister in law is 23 and has 5. I don't believe their is a right or a wrong age for having kids. Just do what is right for you and your partner.

"right age"
The right age to have kids is a very personal choice and decision. The "average" age for women to start having kids is early to mid 30's.
Personally, I was married at 22, had my first 13 months later at 23, second at 25, divorced at 26, remarried at 31 (and gained two step-kids) and had my third (and final) child at 34.
For me, as long as you are responsible, mature and ready and able to raise children in a happy, healthy, loving, nuturing environment... you are old enough.
Funny thing... I've always been considered a "young" mom with my two older kids. Other mom's always scoffed at me when my kids were in pre-school. Fast forward 11-13 years, we get along just fine. Now they think I'm wierd for having a child at 34 (the age they were when they started having kids).
You can't win...

My mum had 3 by your age then she had a bit of a rest and had three more! I guess by your question that you are not exactly regretting that you had them but are wondering if you could have achieved other things if you had not had them so early. T he good news is that you are young enough to be able to really enjoy your kids, and when they are a little older you'll be able to pick up the strings of what you want to achieve whether it be career, hobbies etc., go o Have a great life, I dare you!

Personally, I'd say that having three kids by the age of 23 is a bit too young and doesn't give you enough time to do other stuff first.

Hi >
Well, later in life a tad I'd say.
Not too late, though. I have two splendid sons, conceived when in my late 30's, and all is fine.
I might make for a bit of an "older Dad" but what the heck.
Better than having kids at 12 / 14 or whatever.
Just my thougjht, and it seems to operate well.

in 1977 I was 20 when I had my son and that was the norm
2006 at 23 with 3 kids- not the norm
most gals are completing their education and starting a career before settling down

It's a good age when you can support yourself & your spouse well, cause if you can't take care of your own stuff, bringing a kid in this world is just a burden on your family & on our society because others have to pick up your slack.
i.e. If you live on welfare or don't have health insurance and you have kids...your kid is just a burden on society. Or if you depend on your parents to take care of you and your kid...you should not be having kids.
Also, if you don't educate & discipline your kids & let them do whatever they want..they're also a burden & a hazard to society. Take some responsiblity for yourself before reproducing.
Otherwise..reproduce away!

Right age? just make sure you have them before menopause and ideally after high school I guess. There is no "right age". Stop thinking people are looking down on you and enjoy your kids! You are young enough to keep up with them now and you will be young enough to enjoy life when they move out. Great!
