Between 25 and 35, I'd say.
However, some people are never ready for kids -- some young parents do an outstanding job -- some older parents are excellent and wise. It doesn't depend on the age so much as it depends on the person.

Greetings.
My Personal view is. It doesn't matter because children enter your lives. When they are supposed too. By what ever means or circumstances, that your life situation is.They come, stay as long as is required for both of your to learn and grow. Sometimes it's only for a very short time, because they're aborted or stillborn, or die in infancy. Each precious little soul had played it's part, had made it's mark on your life. Take this gift of their memory and overcome, move on live. They will always be a part of your future. Hopefully our children will be with us experiencing the joy together. Until we pass to the "Spiritual Plain". Never is this for nothing.They are always a blessing. Even if through troubles ,tribulations it seems that they are blessings in disguise,whatever Challenges
they bring. Rest assured both of you can overcome them, if you only do it together. I do believe we are "Angels having an Earthly experience"Our reason for being is to help each other ,to become more Fulfilled Spiritually whole human beings, through the issues we overcome and the people who help us, including our loved ones.Sometimes we are a Couple who haven't had the chance to be loving Parents to our own. They are very Special ones. Because they are here to share the love, commitment with many children. They only have to realise this. They're not failures they just haven't found their potential as yet. When it's time they will. But please try not to dwell on what you haven't got, but what you have and what you can share. Your Endless love..
This is My opinion. I'm not forcing it on others. Lynda

Once you are married and can support them financially and emotionally. Once you can provide a stable, caring home-life. For some this may be at the age of 22. For others it may be 30 or older. Just depends on the person and when they find their soul mate and have a stable job.

I think you need to consider many factors. Are you ready for the HUGE committment of time and energy? Are you finacially stable? Are you prepared to put your own ambitions/dreams/wants on the backburner for the time being? Having children is a wonderful thing, and a blessing, but unless you are as prepared as possible, it can be really tough for you, your partner and the child. Personally l think your mid twenties is a good age, by then you are (or should be!) mature enough to cope with raising a child, but you are also young enough to cope with the physical demands this brings. It really is a personal choice though, and as long as you have a good support network behind you, and are willing to put the hard yards in, l don't think there really is a 'right' age.

25-27 for the first one... the rest as they come along. Gives you time to go to college, get a home, get started in life before bringing in kids! :)

i was 18 when i had my first, and I'm now 29 and have 6 beautiful children, i didn't think i was ready when i had my first and in a sense i wasn't but having my son made me grow up and realise that there's more to life than parties and friends, and the way i see it now is at least by the time my children are adults i will be still young enough to enjoy life.

Mid - late 20's, settled in a stable relationship and with enough money to support a baby.
