Which is worse having a baby too early in life or too late in life? (Page 2)

[PainusNdeeAnus]

Nobody wants to be running up behind a 3 year old when their knee and back pain is settling in

[bananathunder]

too late... I would want to enjoy my life as a full grown adult without having those responsibilities

[westend12]

I think too late would be worse. Recovery time and having young kids when you are older seems like much more effort than when you are young

[Fuentes]

Well too early isn't the best but too late can cause complications for the baby and for the mother that can hurt both.

[WhitneySnow]

Too early. You can’t take care of them and you’re not emotionally mature enough to handle the responsibility.

[Guy13]

I would rather have them at 23 than 33.

[Asker]

Agreed! 33 is a little old

[Ehjoh1]

You can better gain life experiences and get yourself a steady career that you like before you start having kids. Otherwise you couldn't set a good example to them or support them financially.

[Asker]

Women who are gonna be stay at home moms have no use for a career until they're kids are older

[Guardian45]

Worse most importantly due to the possibility of genetic or birth defects.

[RandomGuy1032]

Far worse to have a baby when you're too old for one

[Anonymous]

Long time ago girls age 16 married and my county Korea 12 old boy got married to 16 years old girl because there were not enough older men available. These day financial independence is important so young adult get married after college and job. That’s all.

[Maira_Beauty_fool]

too early so you can spent more time wid kids

[fonduegirl]

Having a baby in itself is a curse.

[Abdulwahh]

I would say early due to fertility being much more better when women is younger.

[Subarugirl]

Both are equally bad and could have dire consequences.

[annabananna]

As long as you have a healthy baby as the outcome I’d prefer too late.

[Charliefretz329]

The worst thing is not to have em at all

[Asker]

Soo true

[Asker]

I feel bad for those that don't have kiddos. They don't understand the real joys in life

[Charliefretz329]

Totally true

[Nsync]

I believe we should be financially settled before having children.

[Asker]

Most people are never financially settled lol

[Nsync]

True. A child is a big investment though 😀

[Asker]

I have 4 big investment then 😂

[Nsync]

I envy you. I love children 😍

[cloud9vortex1234]

Too early then it would be bad for the mother. Too late then it's bad for the baby.

[Heolurt]

For the baby or the mom?
Too early the mom and too late the baby.

[Smilessavelives]

Having a baby early in life especially if your not mentally, physically, financially prepared can be extremely rough

[Kingofkings1992]

There’s no such thing as too early or too late. It all depends on the individual and their circumstances.

[Kelly6]

too late is worse

[Kelly6]

i got my first baby at age 20

[Wise4myage]

I say too late in life.

[Preeti161101]

I think 25 to 35 years age is best for baby 🍼

[dustybiker]

Too early. Life is for living.

[Dr-Zarnish]

early is good for fututre

[leighbee]

29 is when I wanna start having. A family

[MountAverage]

For the parents? Too early, definitely.

[Asker]

Why? And yes for the parents age

[MountAverage]

One reason is pretty obvious: Too young usually means not mature and experienced enough. It's a lot of responsibilty.
Another thing is that at an older age people usually won't be worried much about missing out and having to give up things that are important to most people when they're young.

[Asker]

Having a child usually matures a person regardless of age. There are obviously some selfish parents that never mature tho.
And personally never felt like I had to give up on anything by having a child young. If anything I did more then I would have done if it didn't have any babies

[MountAverage]

Sure, that can happen. But if we're talking about too young, I think the lack of maturity is too big. Especially with teen parents. The idea that teen parents aren't clearly a bigger problem than older parents, is just crazy to me. Also, the vast majority of children of teen parents grow up in poverty and many of them end up uneducated and poor and - becoming teen parents themselves.

And I'm not doubting your (or anyone's) individual sitiation being different. I never said everybody is that way. We're talking about in general here. So I'm not sure how your personal experiences change anything I said.

[Asker]

Teen parents aren't a problem because most of them are actually patenting their childern and not throwing ipads at them like older parents do. The problem is that old parents don't raise really raise their kids they just use their money to parent them which is wrong on so many levels and creates spoiled entitled childern. I'd rather my child be poor and understand the world then entitled and have everything thrown at them.

And I'm a teen parent myself that has been in many teen parenting groups. I rarely ever seen any teen parents that weren't being responsible.

[MountAverage]

Yeah, I don't think that's true at all. We'll have to agree to strongly disagree on that one.

And sure, being poor but understand the world is better than being entitled and have everything thrown at them. Totally agree with that. Has nothing to do with what I said though. You're totally strawmanning me.

And hey, good for you that you and the other teen parents from your group are like that! That's really great. But I don't think that's reflective of how it is overall.

But again, we can just agree to disagree here. Because neither you nor me can actually prove most of what we just said.

[MountAverage]

I totally forgot a major reason: Most teen mothers don't go to university. And I don't care if you personally never wanted to go to university. I'm talking about what this means for society as a whole. The more teen mothers we have, the less educated women we have, and the less women in leading positions or in research we have. And I hope I don't have to explain why that's bad.

So yeah, the less teen pregnancies there are, the better. If it happens, it happens. If it goes well, great. But we definitely need the option of legal and safe abortions.

That's all I'm gonna say now. I will mute this thread now, just so you know that I'm not gonna read any further responses. Bye now.

[boobliker]

both if you don't want one,

[BananaBrother]

The girl on the left is hot as hell.

[Asker]

Nah I look better then both these women while preggo

[BananaBrother]

I believe you, but that woman is still hot in my opinion.

[Nominal]

I change my mind. The older is better.

[jamartheg]

Having a baby is worst

[Anonymous]

Best is not having at all.

[Asker]

Oh stop but babies are cute

[Opinion Owner]

But they're annoying as well.

[Asker]

Annoyingly cute 👶

[TallAnon]

Too early.
