the wife and i considered waiting till we were "ready" then realized we'd never actually reach a point where we said "we're ready" so we just started.

i am 34 and my wife is 39. our daughter is 16 months old. we got married in 2001.

Depends on what your lifestyle is. For instance, if you are gonig for phD and dont get out until 28, marry until 30, pay off loans, stuff until 34 - maybe then? Raising a family is pretty expensive nowadays, so you wanna make sure you can afford it - rather than stressing about counting pennies when its too late.

Id say for a typical person, 28-38.

I thin ka law should be passed that tou can't have babies till you are 25. Simply bacuase that's when I wreally felt as I understood what the world is really like.

You're never ready :p If you wait until you are you'll never have kids.
That said, I was 29 & 32 when mine were born. Their mom was 35 & 38.
 

I'd like to have 2 kids before I'm thirty. Probably start 26-27...assuming i get a wife and she agrees.

that was my plan too....it's not quite working out the way I planned it though....

my plans for seducing a girl aren't quite working out the way I first wanted too either.

Kinda sick when you think about it. She's a toddler in the Ukraine or something like that this moment.

it takes time...I think some people are also forgetting that you can't plan to be pregnanat at a certain age. It works for some people, and after a week of trying they get pregnant. For others it takes much longer...

I don't think I'd be ready to have a child before I was 25. I figure that will give me time to get a good, stable job and be able to provide for the kid. Seeing as how I'm 22 now and have no significant other, having a child at 25 isn't likely, but that's probably about the age I'd be ready.

I had mine at 18, 21 and 23..... I probably was not ready when I started but your never REALLY ready.

The one nice thing about having them early is that now that Im 32 (my oldest is 13 and can babysit) I have a life again. Shoot! Ive had more of a life since I got divorced 3 years ago than I ever had when I was married.... but thats a whole other story ;)
