What's the latest you’d want to have kids?

Question

Not the youngest age you’d be willing to have kids but the oldest age you’d be willing to have kids?  This kid i’m speaking to is just now heading to college at 18. Her dad is 90 years old. I’m just like goodness gracious. The man still hittin huh 😂 Once i hit 31+, I don’t really have intentions of birthing more. The goal was always to have kids between 24-30 or once upon a time 18-30. But here i am, 26 and haven't even had one yet. Anyways, 31 is the limit for me. I’d just adopt after that.  #FeelFreeToList

I currently have baby fever after attending a 1st year birthday party. I would love to have kids of my own, and certainly before I’m 30. But then again, the dating scene these days is kind of messed up and it’s hard to date these days (or at least, that’s what I hear people on the internet say all the time) Id be very happy if I find a husband before I’m 30 lmao. If I don’t have a man before I’m 35, then maybe I’d get a sperm donor and get pregnant.

If I do get married before I’m 30, then I’d certainly wait until 2 years into a healthy married life (to settle down, plan for a baby and stuff) and then get pregnant.

As a 21 year old woman, who has never dated any guy before, and don't think that any guy would see me as their future wife, I would hope to be married in my late 20s or early 30s. But the oldest age I would be willing to grow a baby inside of me, after I get married, would be 40. But 41+, I would just lose hope and probably adopt or just grow old, with my sister, losing hope and faith in men LOL 😆 😢

But, if I ever got married within the next 5-8 years, I would hope to have my first when I'm around the age of 28 or 29. But only time will reveal.

I've seen Damm near all scenarios between ages of parents and kids... my best friends had their kids wen they were kids 16 and 17 ... the kids are 22 23 , and my homeboy and his wife are still young and cuz the kids are grown and gone they can still enjoy life at a fairly decent age... I believe once u start getting maaayyybbee past 45 .. u should think about those next 15 20 years down the road... hopefully , but u think u might still be alive to watch them grow up? But not all people are able physically to have babies .. so to be pregnant is a blessing in its own way , no matter the age..🤷‍♂️

About nine o'clock. Beyond that and I get too tired.

AviatorTom · Answer

My father was much older than my mother and was 67 when I was born. He was still fit in his 80s, and I fondly remember us doing typical father-son things, building things playing catch, together. I don't ever want to be that old having kids. I have 3 kids, all older now, born in my 30s.

BipBipLeddus · Answer

I dunno. I've been thinking about trying for a second lately. Not sure how late I'd want that to happen. I'd like my kids to be just a few years apart, so they can at least be friendlier with each other, rather than having an older sister she barely knows because she's never at home.

Seinna · Answer

When I have the number I'm satisfied with and my body is still able to have them.

But ideally I'd like to have my last no later than at 36. Also I'd prefer if my partner was younger than 40 years old because after that sperm quality detoriates and there's more chance the child will have problems.

HighValue · Answer

55 would be the oldest for me because after that the chances of health problems increase for men. Biology doesn't care about anyone's feelings and I face facts. I hope to find the right person before then and have some, but if not then I won't have any.

HellGeist · Answer

I don't want kids. But if a couple wants to have kids, in my opinion they should both be of good and compatible genetic stock, and the woman should not be past a certain age where she may have trouble birthing a healthy baby.

What that age is exactly, I dunno. The Health and safety of the potential child is paramount.

ohshee · Answer

Well that's a nice change a different question I guess the oldest I'd be willing to have a kid is probably 18 to 26 you know there are laws about having kids younger than that why how old are you dizzy do you want me to adopt you or what

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I used to dream of having like 5 or 6 by the time I was 30 and be done... so far that won't be possible, not unless I have twins, triples or something... oh and get married and a husband first.

God_of_Thunder · Answer

I'm past the age where I would want any more children. I got all my accidents out of the way when I was younger. (Don't tell them I said that) 😂

Joeshamo · Answer

43. If I can't find anyone I'll do a surrogate or co-parenting. But nothing older than 43 because i'd rather not be 60 years old & having to deal with a teenager.

lilyanony1 · Answer

I always thought I'd have kids young because I thought Id marry young. I almost did.  Anyways...  I'm just tryna find a sane man!  So this is to be concluded!  Status pending!!!

Apple1996 · Answer

I'm stopping at 30. Whatever number of kids I have at that age ill be happy with

ViolettatheViolin · Answer

27-28 is ideal for me, they say it takes two years to mentally and physically prepare yourself for a baby.

EmmaMary · Answer

I/we are hoping and trying that I/we will have our second and last child next year, or at least before I'm 30 in 2023.

TheorionMage · Answer

Keep in mind that kids make lousy 'pets'!

Kids are... AT THE MINIMUM... an 18-20 yr commitment.
Add 20 years to YOUR present age.
Will you be there for THEIR first Heartbreak,
... Prom, ... Graduation or to walk them down the aisle?
To bounce YOUR grandchildren on YOUR arthritic knee?
A sobering realization that NO ONE'S 'tomorrow' is guaranteed.
"May the odds be EVER in YOUR favor..."

humpbackjack · Answer

It’s a lot different for men obviously but if I didn’t already have 4 I would maybe say 45 would be my latest but I got clipped after my fourth so I’m good

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

35 is my limit. So I'm hoping to get pregnant sometime next year.

MTC29 · Answer

Desii, don't set a time limit for yourself.

My sister was in her late 30's when she had her first child, and 40 when she had her second. It has worked remarkably well.

I think that you'd be an amazing mom at any age. Don't deny a child the chance to be raised by you based on some arbitrary limit.

almostthirty · Answer

i became infertile at 25 due to cancer treatment so... i guess nature made that decision for me... thankfully i had already had 3 kids though so was lucky really can't complain. i had my first at 19, second at 23 and third at 24... if my fertility wasn't an issue i would have probably at the very latest had a 4th at 39. My eldest has autism and i had him at 19, so i wouldn't be worried about that... i also lost a baby due to a chromosome defect a bit like Down Syndrome but worse, i was only 22. So, i dont think my age would put me off. Growing up, i always wanted to have my first baby by 21...

nawtee_me · Answer

You know if you wanted to I could volunteer my services to help with that NSA if you prefer... ;) Just kidding of course but would you consider something like that from someone else? Or is having a father there a must have for you to have kids?

NathanDavis · Answer

I guess nature will decide about that... 50-something?

Likes2drive · Answer

I guess I still have time for one more if her dad was 72 when she was born 😊, I had my first kid when I was 31 but would have probably had more till 38 I guess if I didn’t have triplets already.

Anpu23 · Answer

Early 30s at the latest. I still want to play after the kids are grown.

beebella · Answer

I don't really want to have kids after 35, but at this rate, that just might happen.

Seangreen · Answer

I said 30 and that was basically a decade ago and I still don't have any and that means I'm not going to

Mark987 · Answer

I am 40 and the latest would be in the next two years. My father had me pretty late and we never really enjoyed playing catch etc

Cherry234 · Answer

I don't want children but if I wanted them then 40 would be the limit for me.

TallAnon · Answer

My dad was pretty old when he had me, around 37-38. So I'm not too concerned as long as my wife will be a bit younger. Personally I think around 30-32 is a good age for males.

Anonymous · Answer

one cannot give a timeline because you never know what'll happen. single? married? trying to conceive? not ready? not financially ready? no one should really put a time limit on that. there is also nothing wrong with having a kid after 30. i hear lots of people stressed about that but really... they're acting like it's the end of the world.

Phoenix98 · Answer

Well my 20s is out of the picture at this point so I'd be fine with 30s-40s ideally 30s though.

Pink2000 · Answer

34 would be the latest. If I ever decide to have children. I can’t make my mind up.

whosnumber1 · Answer

the age I am now. ha! I was 40 when I had my first and 41 when I had my twins. that's the cut off for me

Staximus · Answer

I haven't had kids yet and I'm 44, don't know if I ever will. I never found a woman yet that cares as much about me as I do about her and wants to have kids with me. I know a couple women that do care a lot about me but they don't want anymore kids haha

Wiredone · Answer

I'm done having kids. I'm too old to have a baby running around the house

Cubus · Answer

Depends on my future wife. I guess late 30s because I know pregnancies in 40s are quite risky.

sattii2607 · Answer

We have two and that's where we would stop, I was 26 when we had the first and the second was recently so I was 34.

G5TWA1 · Answer

35 max, older than that and the generational gap would be too much

LrningthisLife · Answer

I don't know if you wanna put a stipulation on when and when you'll not. Times change and when you feel it's right time to have children regardless of the age as an adult.)

jimmy2 · Answer

Omg i hear you i am safe sex gor 5 years after a prostate surgery. My area feels like 18 again but my boys go to my bladder and i pee them out

matchrestore · Answer

Considering I'm going to be getting a Vasectomy once our new health insurance takes affect in April, I'd say 31 when I had my son.

Tabasco25 · Answer

At my rate no more then forty after that I'd be to tied to keep up with them.

erandal · Answer

I was 36 when I had my youngest and I think that is a sensible limit so you do not get too old to enjoy them. When I am sixty they will be in their mid 20's, 65 and they will think about grandchildren, maybe.

menina · Answer

I still don't know if I want to have kids but if I did, the last for me would be 35. If I decided to have kids later than that age I would also adopt.

Kelly6 · Answer

I’m 38 and I’m pregnant

Kayla45 · Answer

I'm horribly autistic, I don't want to pass down my genes at any age. I don't wish for my offspring to face the same challenges I do everyday.

Anonymous · Answer

I have a mental illness so I'll never have kids. Not passing those genes on. It would be very selfish to do so. Many people with mental illness do it anyway because they're willing to take the risk but I think that's stupid and selfish.

oobidee · Answer

well since 30 is considered a geriatric pregnancy Id say 30 or younger. The older you get the more complications can arise.

Titanic1912 · Answer

I’d want to stop after my future wife starts going through menopause.

Hans222 · Answer

Maybe in my next life Desi... I've never had a big child wish. I know it's different for you and that you want to do it soon 😉

doopayo · Answer

My moms 45 and still wants more kids for some reason

Commander_Red · Answer

I don't think I'd meet someone special enough to have children with. However, I think once I'm in my thirties, and I'm settled financially, I might adopt and become a single mother.

kellytheman · Answer

I think maybe the oldest be about 35 to 40 but I think after that I probably just not have a kids.

exitseven · Answer

The limit for me was 30

LinaDaGoddess · Answer

35, I feel like my body will not handle that well. Lol

Lovesims3plumbob · Answer

I can't have my own kids since my eggs have my DNA and my learning disability is called 18-p and is genitic.

_Lucian · Answer

I'm not sure I want kids. Im currently 20 so I have a lot of time to think about it. I won't even consider having kids until I'm at least 28-30. I kinda want to adopt though.

Harleigh90 · Answer

I said my limit was 30! Then 31 now it 32! 🤦‍♀️ Probably just end up with 5 dogs instead 😆

Agape93 · Answer

About 7 months into putrefaction. In other words, never.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Well, I don't necessarily need to have kids. But I guess if I was going to then it would probably be 40. But, again, I don't give a shit either way. So please don't take this answer too seriously.

wittymilf · Answer

I’d abort if I hit pregnant now, but my dads wife had a kid at 45

Heartache0405 · Answer

Never. I'm never having kids. I don't want kids. I don't even want to ever have sex either
