Okay I am 23 years old with no kids. Currently in college pursuing my business degree. Why is it that when people ask me when i want to how kids and i say between 35 and 40 they look at me like I am crazy or say " that's too old". I just want to provide a stability for myself and family if i have one and don't want to have kids in my twenties. Anyone see anything wrong with waiting until i am 35-40?

Ultimately you should do what you want to do. People that care or are judgemental are going to tell you otherwise, but in the end you should always do what you feel is right. After all its your life and you should choose to live it the way you want. But to play devil's advocate, I'm sure your thinking is radically different than what it was 5 years ago and its potentially going to be different 5 years from now. So for now I say you do what you feel is right and you can never go wrong.

That is fantastic, You have the right idea. Why get into a family when you are not ready...kids are very expesive and time consuming. Getting prepared is the right choice...I say 30-35 is a pretty good timeframe...40 is ok... but just remember, when your kid is 20 you will be 60...Remember your college years!!!

I think it is better to have kids at the twenties because if you have them in your thirties then there will be a problem for the child as well because if you have a child at 40, then you will be 55 when he/she is 15 and by the time he is 30/35, you will be dead and he will have no mother.
The earlier the better

I think you are smart by waiting so that you can have a stable career and home for your family. But you also need to realize that by having kids around the age of 40 is very difficult. I would think around the early thirties but I wouldn't push it too far. Once you have kids and they start to go to school, then you can focus again on your job. Be flexible.

I see nothing wrong with that, I am in a similar situation. It's a lot better to be able to provide for your family, PRIOR to having one, than to be struggling every day to make ends meet. What happens if your baby were to get sick, and you were still making college payments? Stay true to yourself and your dreams, and there will always be those out there who will admire and understand it.

yea because by the time they are old enough to go to amusment parks and stuff you will be to old to ride any of the rides. Not only that but you stand a better chance of dying while your kids are really young if u wait that long.

well your prime breeding age is in your 20s, but most ppl in their 20s are not the best parents, smart ppl are now waiting till their 30s to have kids, to make this short and simple ,you are right

Yes you should want to be young when you decide to have your kids instead of waiting until you are that old
