Im asking cause im in my 20's we have 2 now a 5 year who will be 6 in dec and a 17 month old. My family history women start having problems caring baby is their early 30s. I want 4 kids. I came from a family of 3 and always felt like y little brother was left out. college degree own business etc, and married i just wanted to know if people actually put an age on when you should have kids and whats some of your thoughts. thanks

Answer 1

I'd think whenever you can afford it since children are SO expensive. Or when you are ready to say good-bye to your flat stomach.

Answer 2

If I have 3, I would like the 3rd to come by the time I'm 35. I'm 27 now, expecting my first, so that would put a few years in between each child. Since after 35 the risks of pregnancy go up, I would like to be done by then. But my favorite aunt in the world had her first around 39 years of age and the second at 41. And I definitely didn't think she was too old. But my opinion is that 18 is a little young, but I don't have a problem with an 18 year old who takes care of their kids.

Answer 3

I had my 1st at 19 (should have waited), twins as a surrogate at 23, then my 2nd at 25 and if we have another we want to do so at 30. I want to be done ideally by 30 no later then 32. I think it should be based on your own situation, if you are financially able to, every in family agrees it's time or not time, you want kids spaced out or certain ages appart.

Answer 4

I had my first at 21, my second at 25, and not sure when or if I am having my third, but it will be before I am 30. I don't want to be an old mom when my kids are in school.

Answer 5

First begin by getting married and then start having your little ones at 25 years of age..

Answer 6

I had my 3rd at 39 and it was too old - I just didn't have the energy to run around after three toddlers in my early 40's.

But ultimately the time is right when you feel ready.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It should be whenever you are ready.... we had our first when I was 20 and we are pregnant with our 2nd and I'm 22. It's all about when you decide you're ready. We always knew we wanted our children close together in age. It's all about you and when you are ready, mentally, emotionally, finacially.... Don't let people who are not going to be there to raise the child tell you when to have one. Good Luck!!

Answer 9

For me....NEVER. I realize, by Zeus, I am not a maternal type, and I just want to raise the two I have the best I can and slowly try and repair my nerves and travel the world before old age sets in.

Answer 10

2 3 and 6. 2*3*6=36. This NUMBER is the sum of their ages 236. Not 236 is the sum, but "236" is 2+3+6.
