How early is too early to have kids?

Answer 1

its a personal choice. I didn't start having kids until I was 25, while my sister in law had 3 by her 25th birthday. As long as you are prepared to do the job right then you are old enough.

Answer 2

I dont think that there should be a set age. I got pregnant with my first son at 18, although when i got pregnant i cant say that i was totally ready but, I made my self ready. That was almost four years ago now and i just had my second son. My children have everything that they a mother father all basic necessites. I know that i can not supply all of the fancy things that my kids want. But i feel that they have a great life anyway. Money is not everything in having children, and i feel that to many people place such a heavy burdon on haveing money.

Answer 3

I am 22 and married and I have been thinking about having a baby but I have been wondering if I am too young, or if it is the right time or not. I don't know what the right answer is, but I fell that if you are married, and make enough money to support a child, and if you have health insurance, and if you and your husband are ready to love and take care of your baby the best you can then I don't think your age really matters except if you are under 18 then you are still too young.

Answer 4

I think you're teen years are too early. However, I do know a girl that got married at 18 and had their first child at 19. They are still happily married and had two more children. They are now in their 40's. Different things work for different people.

I was 21 and had been married for over 2 years, had a house, bills were payed without struggling, education was completed.... Its a matter of where you're at in your life. We just felt we were ready, so we jumped in with both feet. Now, 3 years later, I just had our 3rd child. Like I said, we jumped in with BOTH feet. lol

Answer 5

In a marriage? Or how young an age? If my kids were to ask me that question, I would tell them to wait until they:

Finished their college or vocational education
Got married
Were accustomed to surviving on one income
Were secure in their marriage
Were prepared to sacrifice just about all free time to care for another human being

I got pregnant about 6 months into my marriage. We had dated for years before that, and saw no reason to wait any longer. We are able to get by on one income, and we understand that our childrens' needs are more importnat than our own (most of the time). I did not finish my education before having children. I am completing it now. It is MUCH harder with 2 kids to care for! I have to get my studying done in little chunks while they are sleeping or otherwise occupied. Also, my options for courses are limited to online classes, as I am the caregiver for my children. Fortunately, the graduate degree I am working toward is offered online through an accredited university. If I had wanted to do something else, like nursing, I would be out of luck.

Answer 6

How early is too early?

When you haven't thought about your future and the future that you will provide for your child. Are they going to be living in a stable environment? Are you finacially secure to provide everything your child will need? Are you emotionally ready?

If you didn't answer yes to all these questions, maybe it is a bit early for you to be having children.

Answer 7

If you don't have the money to pay for what you need, it's too early to have kids.

Answer 8

When you are sure your ready and responsible.
I gave birth to my first at the age of sixteen, I am now eighteen. (Yes, I did sign up as twenty-two I know.)
I was not ready to be pregnant, but I was ready to be a mother.
Remember teen pregnancy's are not as easy as a full grown adults... How?
You have to go to school really pregnant, and have people stare at you.
And your boyfriend might not be too happy to hear this.
What will your parents say?
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Answer 10

Don't have kids if you're not mature, and not stable. Please don't. There are already too many kids living through hell because of their parents' rotten judgement.
