what age do you think is the perfect age to have your first child

I know what some of you are gonna say.. it doesn't matter.. I had my kid at 16 and it was absolutely fine.. I'm married and in love and lalalala - no making fun of you or putting you down at all.. just saying.. even you guys can participate.. honestly if you could have chosen.. between how old and how old would have had your first child?

People who aren't parents - what do you think is the best age to have a child?

Considering all sorts of things of course.. like.. will the child have a father? Will the family have a place to live?

Considering that all is well and beautiful, you're married or you're not married but living together and want a kid, and have jobs, and everything is fine. How old do you think you should be? And I mean as far as maturity goes.. and.. other things I can't think of right now.

 

Somewhere in the mid 20's.

I wanna party a bit before I have kids.

 

i've calculated the exact perfect age to be 27 years, 4 months, 12 days and 9 hours.

give or take 2 years.

 

37.5

 

women: before 40
men: anytime

 

I know 15 year olds who are more mature than some 35 year olds. I think it really depends on the person. I would hope that somebody would wait until they are 25 so that they can at least have some sort of an independent life before motherhood/fatherhood.

 

i dont think there is a "perfect" age, maybe except biologically. other than that, i think the right age depends on the person and where they are in their life as far as maturity and security.

 

How many 15 year olds do you know and how many of them can you hook me up with?

 

My mum was 27 when she had me. I think that's a good age.

Then again.. My mum and dad moved in together when she was 5 months preg. :leaving:

I'd say late 20s-mid 30s.

I want to be able to live anywhere and pick up my stuff and move without having to stress out a lil baby.

You have about 0 to 3.75 years to find yo baby's mamma.

 

I agree.

 

i already know where you are.

 

Early to mid 30s - People are usually totally independent at this point and mature enough to comfortably raise a child.

 

yea I'm thinking the best time would be between 25-28.

 

I personally think as soon as you are legal, thats when you can get the hottest guys. Which sounds a bit confronting, but really in the end it is how hot your son(s) grow up to be

But then I'm not the one that has to finish high school looking like a whale

 

You know that there are plenty of sources on HF without having to ask me.

 

You're outta my league.

Even in 4 years I'll only be 22.

:hurray: I agree.

 

I think early to mid 30's sounds like no problem for guy. But a woman starts being less fertile then.. and could have problematic pregnancies.

 

I'm thinking of adopting.


If I do end up adopting I'm going to be so pissed off that I had all these periods for nothing.

 

The earlier the better. Not too early, but I would say early 20s.

 

Some people here would say anywhere between 11 and 17.

I'd disagree.

 

You've gotta be joking.

I say 30. Give or take a year.... I enjoy my life and my freedom and plan on doing so for the next ten years without thinking about kids.
