Appropriate age for having children?

Question

Studies show its best after age 25, in terms of maturity and selflessness, I agree no kids before age 25 or marraiges either.

Answer 1

I believe that a person should get to know themselves before they bring a baby into the world. I have my oldest very young and my other three after age 25 - and can honestly say I was a better parent after age 25 then I was before.
I think that we have reached a certain maturity level in our mid to late 20's that makes us much better at dealing with the responsibility of a family. Not that people in the early 20's are "immature", but that at a later point in life you are more comfortable in your skin and the world around you. Which in turn makes you better prepared to take on the responsibility of a baby.

Answer 2

I think the appropriate age for kids is when the couple is ready and wants to have kids.Why only after 25?What if it's 22 or 23?Is there any difference?I don't think so.For me,appropriate age is from 20 to 35 but any exceptions are welcome.It isn't only about the appropriate age but about appropriate time.Appropriate time for having a baby is when you are sure you want a child and when you are financely insured and you are sure you will be financely insured for the next 15-20 years(while bringing up the child).

Answer 3

I got pregnant when I was 20, after I was married.. and my husband and I had a stable home, graduated from college, and had our careers on track. There is no "perfect age", because every person is different. There are plenty of 25 year olds I know that I wouldnt even trust to watch my son for an hour while I went to the grocery store. But I cant name any of my friends who are the same age as me that are financially or mentally prepared to be parents either... My point is, maturity doesnt always come with age, and neither does the capacity to be a good parent.

Answer 4

After the first periods, reproduction Systems get matured after 7 years (minimum) for carrying a baby. Better to pass 8 years to hold a baby in good shape.

Adolescence ends between 18 and 22 for diffferent persons. Thats what we call mental maturity.

It is always better to have baby with the above 2 conditions fullfilled.

But medically speaking, a girl has the full development for a baby at her 15th year or in a year from her first period. Getting prepared and getting SAFELY prepared has a distance apart. Better is after 20 and Safe is after 22. Pushing after 30 is not advisable much, because, body looses the tenderness that a baby needs post natel. Safe is to have babies between 22 & 30. Early babies are better in a way that you will be young enough to see them growing, getting married and to enjoy with grand children.

Answer 5

My husband and i wanted a baby so we planned it when we were both 21. I became pregnant and had my son at age 21 and everything is great. I am now 27 with a 5 year old. I have not yet had anymore kids, not sure if i ever will.
I think any age over 20 is fine.

Answer 6

I can't see to putting a number to that one. I've known 16 year olds far more responsible and emotionally mature than a lot of the "adults" I know. And on the other side of it, I have friends at 40 who are in no way able to care for a child.

Answer 7

less than 30 years of age is best........for giving birth to a healthy child.........more than 20 years is also advisable so that the parents are matured enough......i would say 25 is the best age for marriage and for starting a family

Answer 8

I am 37 and I have five children and four step children. I have enjoyed them all from my first when I was 18 and a very naive mother to 28 when I had my beautiful baby, Molly. We have been able to give Molly alot of attention and material things as we are settled and have got alot more than ever before so I say 28 to early thirties.

Answer 9

In terms of age - 25. In terms of common sense - after your married

Answer 10

I agree. 25 might even be a little young for a guy.
