I'd definitely go with around 30, early 30. 40s seem late to me, and 20s are the time where you're supposed to find yourself, not bring another into this hellhole of a planet.
In my ideal life, I still would have preferred to have kids in my 30s (or at least late 20s). Me and my wife would have just been doing a lot of f*cking with condoms before then.
I yea and those years happily went to school and dating. Thats mainly early 20s. Whats the excuse for late twenties? Career? Most dont even reach potential until mid 30s
When i say dating, im referring to a longterm relationship. I dont go on actual dates where i sit down with a new person weekly. And i never understood couples being selfish. If we have to share eachother with friends, extended fam, work, and school then it won't hurt to share us with kids too
I had my first child at 27. Have had another two since then, now 32. Plan to have more. I think around age 30 is ideal to start. Too much younger and my life wasn't together. Too old and your children aren't as healthy.
I just want a son to raise and If I got unlucky with wrong gender then I would setup a adoption and try again and if I fail twice then give up and not be parent
I want a daughter first and if i dont have a daugher by the second time, then i’d adopt what i didn't have. Im not gonna give up on being a parent and you shouldn't eithher
I was too young to understand the world. My wife was 21, and resented me and the baby after she was born. Just 2 people that were too young. We divorced when she was 6.
It wasn't unplanned, it was actually her idea. But maturity was an issue for both of us. We thought we were ready, and we were more mature than other people our age.

Maybe early 20s but if you haven't found yourself by late 20s then thats on you
I would have rather done that myself or at least be in a relationship before then with kids being considered in late 20s early 30s
I understand

I probably wouldn't use condoms til im done having kids. I’ll prob get my tubes tied unless he wants to get a vasectomy
Okay. But I'm saying I think it would be nice to have a few years just as a couple before adding children into the mix.

*most careers dont reach potential until mid 30s
No; you're still not understanding me. "As a couple.". Not dating years. RELATIONSHIP years.

But you don't HAVE to have kids... That's the Point.
But we were made to eventually reproduce. Otherwise what are people here for
@DizzyDesii We have the capability to reproduce. If we want to. It's an option.
To answer the question of what we are here for, it's this:
1. Seek justice.
2. Love mercy.
3. Walk humbly with our God.

You dont feel 34+ is too old in terms of the babies health
I would stop after 35
I wanted to start having kids by 28. But even now, I hope that dream can come true one day.
I wish you the best :)
Thanks. I wish you well too.
I am 33 years old and I never want marriage nor kids. Simple.
I see
I'm more the D sort of person, first be sure you love each other and than see...
Very true
Before, I hate the idea of me being like 50+ and my child isn’t even older than 20 or something.
Yea it’ll be weird for you kid to be the same age as ppls grandkids lol
I had two kids at the age of 22 it’s great now... was pretty hard 20 years ago though.
Well im glad it got better
I have a granddaughter now and that’s way better than kids! Such a great reward for putting up with all there drama 😂😂
Had my son at 37. It's draining, would have had more energy at 27
Yepp i agree
I just want a son to raise and If I got unlucky with wrong gender then I would setup a adoption and try again and if I fail twice then give up and not be parent
I want a daughter first and if i dont have a daugher by the second time, then i’d adopt what i didn't have. Im not gonna give up on being a parent and you shouldn't eithher
Yeah but I don't like making children just to put them up for adoption plus it would be tough to convince mother of child to put her up for adoption.
You sound silly. I wouldn't put my kid up for adoption. Are you trolling
Nope I would because murdering babies is wrong of course
LOL that kid is fucking stupid man!!
Voted for cause that's the only choice I have 🤣🤣😅
What did you vote?
F lol
Definitely after 30. More like 35 really. Or not at all. Imma go with not at all.
Aww ok
I was a little upset when I was still a virgin at the age my parents were when I was born.
Nothing wrong with that
If I can have kids - sure. At my age.. stones throw from 50.. if I didn’t have them by now, I don’t think it’s worth it..
You can be a foster parent
Ideally late 20s, early 30s.
Not bad
Well, I'm already in my late 20s, so... Ideally, I'd like to have kids before 33
I never wanted any, but had one daughter.
But i was totally ok with being a father figure to kids of the woman i was dating.
Are you happy to have your daughter now
Yes of course. It was never hinderence. That was left to her mother making my life miserable.
I wouldn't push it past 30 too much. Definitely before 35
Sounds good
After 30. My one kid was born when I was 24. I wish I had waited.
Whys that
I was too young to understand the world. My wife was 21, and resented me and the baby after she was born. Just 2 people that were too young. We divorced when she was 6.
Damn
I think its all in the mentality of who wants a kid at that age vs an unplanned pregnancy
It wasn't unplanned, it was actually her idea. But maturity was an issue for both of us. We thought we were ready, and we were more mature than other people our age.
I dont want more than two kids and have them by 33-34, need a 2-3 year gap between them too
Sounds cool
