Guys, what age did you say (or do you think you’ll say), “I’m ready to be a dad!”?

Yea i purposely did not give an option of NEVER but to each its own. I’ve seen very few men say they want it. Maybe its some unspoken truth. I mean, Some say they want to be financially stable first and others already are and still dont say they want it til they’re about 50. I mean y'all know I’m baby crazy and wanted to be a mom since age 3 😂 but more seriously at age 23. I just wanted to finish college first in which I did. So i get if some are waiting for diff stuff. But yea is there any men who are actually baby crazy as well? Cause all the ones i met were either crazy about it under 21 and changed once they aged up, or they were not about it until over 40 and well thats just nuts to me. Anyways, when i do hear guys talk passionately about wanting fatherhood (regardless of their age), I find it to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. #FeelFreeToList #Daddio

Well i guess since no ones truly ever “ready” then i should’ve asked WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE A DAD

  • Their is no perfect time. If you wait for the perfect time. Itl never happen

    and you never will have kids.

    i could care less if i got a girl pregnant at 19. Or. 25

    when it happens it happens and you take it as it comes...

    i would love to be a dad.

    I dont get it when people say they want to be financially ready first.

    that’s basically an excuse saying,

    “im immature, And dont have my shit together”. Aka. Not man enough
    weak people use that excuse

    My gfs mom had her at 19.

    my mom had me at 24

    Im 26 and.
    my girlfriend is 20
    we have a lot OF SEX.
    so it can very well happen at any time. To us even.

    no set plan, Take it as it comes

    • Wish more thought like this 🙌🙌🙌

    • How are you gonna provide for the baby and give him/her a decent life if you're not financially stable? Maintaining a family ain't cheap dude, and money doesn't grow on trees

    • @Syrian_survivor Yea. Keep waiting... man up and figure it out... Id give the shirt off my back for my kids if i had any. Regardless of what i had financially,,,,,,.,, Thats your job as a man to provide, Nobody ever said it would be easy. Suck it up when that day comes. Your never ready. EVER. Weak men make excuses, Real men make it happen.

  • Around 24 when I'm more financially stable, i think I'm mentally and emotionally ready and I've always wanted to have kids and raise them to be strong independent individuals who will make the world a tiny bit better, that's how I've always wanted my legacy

    Though the hardest part is first i gotta find the right person to have those children with cuz it takes two to tango obviously xD

    • Amazing goals tho

    • Thank you miss ^_^

    • Thanks for MHO!

  • I chose 25-27..

    Cause that was around the time my daughter was born but in no way, shape or form.. was I actually "ready" to do so.

    My friends started having them in their teens and whatnot, which always made me think... well your life's over. After mine was born though, I couldn't imagine living any kind of "life", without her. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have to for very long, either.

    I wasn't gonna answer this but I thought if anyone were on the fence about it..

    So long as they outlive you, I can't imagine anyone regretting having one. Cause ready or not, she was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. Which is why I'll never regret having her but the pain of losing her, even though it's been almost 20 years now...(still) hurts, like it was yesterday.

    Didn't mention any of this for sympathies or to be a downer, it's just if ya knew me..

    The fact a baby could get a ringing endorsement from me, anyway... is the best I can do to convey the sentiment.

    • I wouldn't see it as llifes over because its all i ever wanted no matter the age

    • I wasn't very happy to hear it at the time, cause the friends I mentioned, were my 2 best friends growing up, ya know? We were all the same age, 16... when my one friend hooked up with this girl from north Carolina. He went down there for the summer, that year. She already had a son that was only about a year or so, plus didn't take em long to pop out a couple more and whatnot. Amazingly, they're 45 now.. and (still) together! My other friend was 18, when he got his girl pregnant and decided they should get married... that didn't last near as long, though. He had 3 kids with her.. and couple with this other girl he met later on down the line. Unfortunately, he passed away last year.. at 44. I took both of their, "I'm gonna be a dad", announcements, as kind of a kick to the gut, though. Which my response to both of em, pretty much reflected.. I know. I didn't say it to be a dick, though. I just knew that it meant I was gonna lose my friends. Which basically was, what happened. My daughter came along about 7-8 years later. Had I known then, how much you can (possibly) love someone, I definitely would have been more supportive and all. Either way though, I wasn't really wrong for having thought it... still, I realize saying it out loud, was prolly a little uncalled for, lol. But for all intents and purposes, the lives of the two people I knew growing up, really (were) over. Whether or not someone from the outside looking in, can tell how the (actual) life they got in return for their sacrifice, was far more fulfilling then the previous one their Peter Pan-ass friend, was still clinging to how many years later... Shouldn't make the slightest difference to anyone, when deciding to do the exact same. What other reason do any of us (really) have, for getting out of bed in the morning? If not for the singular purpose, of taking care of the one's we love. Cause I can assure you, living life without that sense of purpose... ain't living, at all.

  • I think I can safely say at any age... I'll never be a Dad 🤣 grandma nother story , didn't expect to be a grandma at 46... Not that I'm complaining, he's my little sweetheart 🥰🥰

    • I didn't mean to invite girls but this glitch shit is annoying. Its only “select all” now

  • I picked G. I absolutely did not want to settle down and have kids until I was in my mid-30s. At that point, I decided that I should look for a partner to spend the rest of my life with. I even toyed with the idea of having a kid to continue the family name. But by the time I met the right woman and got married, I was 42 and she was 40. She got pregnant twice but had miscarriages. So we decided that kids weren't mean to be.
    As it turns out, I'm really, really happy not to have kids.

    • Sorry she went through that.

    • Thanks, Des. It was traumatic.

  • Honestly I don't think women or men are really ever ready to be parents. Because there is a lot of things about parenting that we really don't understand tell we are parents. It's very much one of those things in life that to fully grasp the reality if it, you have to actually do it. We can train for something pretty much our entire life and still fall on our ass when we try to do it.

    • Truee

  • I was ready when I graduated from law school at age 31.

  • 'C' Being a Dad, takes a lot of energy~
    Protector, Defender, Bread Winning Provider, Example

    • Right on

  • Never. Because that would require a woman first, and well... Have you seen me?
    Even if I had one though, my genetics are sh*t, I'm short AF, I'm dark, I'm overweight, I'm ugly, and it'd be child cruelty to even conceive one from my penis, to begin with. At best, I'd adopt an Asian baby girl, cause that's as far as you can get from me, but I still have no plans to ever be a father. ... Or for women to suddenly change what they're attracted to in men, overnight.

    Today's my 34th birthday, so in the interests of participating, I answered "35+" simply for the "ya never know" factor.

    • I don't know how “dark” is a bad thing but okay. I know many short men who ended up having tall wives and daughters. You can exercise to avoid being overweight. Others may not see you as ugly. The insecurity is the only turnoff in this paragraph. But happy bday

  • The day I was told I was going to be a dad

    • Awww

  • No plans on being a dad lol but I was ready to be a mom around 16 and became a mom at 18. It was the perfect timing for me

    • Lol i didn't mean to invite girls

  • I wanna be a mom any moment, my mom is literally making side comments🤣🤣😃

    • Yes mine makes TO MY FACE comments

    • @dizzydesii 😃😃yours is def gonna start getting a man for you soon

    • Omg wait til u see my post later about what she suggested. She goin too far

    • Show All

  • Never, absolutely nothing about the idea of having a child appeals to me personally.
    I would dump the love of my life if she as much as brought up that she would consider having/keeping a child some time in the future.

    To me everything that life is about would be destroyed by having a child, only misery is what I can imagine my life being about with that kind of burden.

    • Well i personally feel we were made to eventually reproduce but aight

    • *reproduce/procreate

    • Yes, billions of us. And way, way more of us will keep on reproducing for potentially about a hundred billion years into the future. Me having/not having children will mean absolutely nothing at all at a cosmic scale. But I only get one, limited time opportunity to experience life and everything that it has to offer, so I don't want to limit myself by settling down somewhere for 20 years just to have children. That's the way I see it, wasting my life away.

  • For me... Late 20s... Maybe early 30s... 🤔

    • I see

  • I was ready in my teens to accept responsibility however i became a dad at 20

    • Lovely

    • thankyou :)

  • I voted D but wasn't able to put it in practice as I'm single...

    • I understand :(

  • I have been ready in a while but at the same time i don't want to have a child of my own. It is way to complicated to explain. I am a godfather of 2 girls and 3 boys, i take care of them and treat them like they are my own, their parents trust in me and did what a father does, take care of them, feed them, change their diapers, make food, shelter, play with them, read bed time stories for them, give and show love and so on. The oldest now he is a very handsome guy at the age of 19. The second is 15 and the third boy is my nephew at 2½ years old. The girls are my wife's best friends 2 children, me and the wife are their god parents the oldest is 13 years old and her little sister is 7 and i do everything for them. Does any of this make any sens to you? :P

    • I’ll never understand but i hear you

    • 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  • I definitely want kids.. I wouldn't mind bein a father right now, but I know I ain't ready.. I would say I look to be a father by 31-34.. 😌😌...

    • I see

    • Yeah, well by ready I mean financially.. 😂😂.. If had a steady job and found a nice woman I would be more than ready.. Well, we would need to get married first of course..

  • I've been ready to be a Father. But am now 29 and have been royally fucked over in every relationship I have been in. I personally couldn't tell you what a good relationship looks like. But I can definitely tell you what a bad one looks like.

    Father also just passed away recently and saw how disheartened I had become with finding THE ONE.
    I've lost interest in having children between losing my Father and him not being able to see his Grandkids and the fact that the world is such a fucked up and dangerous place.

    • Im so sorry you went through all this but please dont give up on the dream. Your dad can watch over them from heaven

  • I answered mid-20s because that's when I thought I was going to get married one day and have kids. But now as I am it's almost 40 I actually have a vasectomy and never had kids or never will. I don't regret it in the least though. I live fun and exciting life, I do what I want to do, I have great times and great friends. Not having kids doesn't bother me.

    • Ahh ok

  • I'm saying it right now xD I've always wanted to be a father, and I am beginning to feel ready for it now.

    • So happy for you. You’re the perfect age in my opinion

    • Not much to be happy for, I don't have a wife yet ;P But yes, I too believe this is the ideal age. And there is one woman in fact...

    • Well she’s lucky

    • Show All

  • I was 20 when my daughter was born. I felt ready when I held her the first time.

    • Amazing. If only some would just give it a chance like this, regardless of if intentional or not
