When do you think the perfect age to have a baby is?

Question

What age do you think is the perfect time to start having children?

Answer 1

Over the age of 22, that's for sure.

When you're...

--In a stable job for at least 2 years.
--Out of debt (sans mortgage and student loans)
--In a stable relationship for at LEAST 3-4 years
--Out of your parent's house
--Hopefully out of college--I've been there, and it's tough.

Answer 2

There is never a perfect time for children. If you feel the time is right, the it proubably is. I had my first child when I was 19 and my second when I was 22. I was a much better parent at 22 than 19 but I don't know if this is because I was older or just more experienced. Many people say that it is good to wait until you are financially stable, but you always find a way to take care of things and I have always said if I waited until I was rich I would never get to be a mother. Trust your instincts.

Answer 3

I personally like having children while I am younger. I am 24 with a 1 year old, and one on the way. I like knowing that when my youngest is 20 I will only be 45! A lot of people say go travel, live your life when you are young. I say that now is when I have the energy yo chase children, when I am a little older I will have time to go and travel, because I will have no children in the house. I will have more money to do these things. I will have my vacations after I work hard. Who wants to come towards the end of their life having done all the traveling when they are young, and now have the hard work! To me thats backwards!

Answer 4

I dont think there is a perfect age!
You never really are ready.
I think that late 20's would be the best time. After someone has finished school (college or University), has a good career and is stable with a loving partner

Answer 5

i've got faith the suited age is once you're mature sufficient to place away your egocentric techniques and be to blame for yet another human. some all people is waiting before than others and a few are in no way waiting. I had my daughter at 30 year previous and for me it grow to be a ideal age....I will not be too previous mutually as she's starting to be up and that i'm not too youthful to lack endurance and accountability.

Answer 6

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

Answer 7

Mid- to late-twenties. I'm 23 and would love a baby four years ago, but even though I'm ready emotionally I'm not ready financially. Women AND their partners need time to ensure that they are financially stable and completely capable of being able to afford all of the things a child (or children) need -- including a decent home.

Answer 8

There is no perfect age dear. It is a case of when you are in a stable relationship and financial situation OR when God/Goddess/Deity deems it the appropriate time for you to have a child to raise. ideally, IMO it's between 22-25, but what God has planned and how your lifestyle is ... well that is an entirely different story.

Answer 9

There is no perfect age. As long as your mature, have a steady job are financially stable and are ready to go through all the ups and downs of parent hood. You cant put an age restriction on that.

Answer 10

When you are married and have a good job and money in the bank....and most importantly--when you feel ready to devote your life to another human being.

I'm 25, been married for 5 years and have a bachelors degree, financially stable and STILL don't feel ready to start a family.....so age isn't the main thing--really , it is when *YOU* and your partner are ready.

Answer 11

25-30
