Does having children early in life make you give up your youth?

Either way, it takes about 20 years to raise a child. You can wait until your thirties, and have a child-free youth, or you can start a family in your twenties and have an empty nest at 50.

I say it depends. Some people are mature for a while, others are still trying to be y’know fun and rebellious. Ultimately, don’t have kids if you’re still gonna want to constantly party or have fun, sacrifices may need to be made. Do it when you know that you’re ready!

Definitely does. People with kids have limitations as how often they can go out and do things. You have to put your children first. It also forces you to rush with getting your crap together

Depends what you mean by "early in life"?

Your youth is taking care of children
