I realize many of you are young mothers and many of you are VERY opinionated. I want to know:

What do you think is a good age to have kids?

I'm interested in hearing your opinions. I say, the youngest to start having kids should be between 29-31, for me. THat's my opinion. What's yours?

After one is married, early 20s - mid 30s. IMO, 40's is too old

Exactly. That's what I forgot to add:

-Married

-Trying to conceive on purpose

Thank you, Emily!

I don't think anyone should have kids before 25. Sorry if that offends some of you young mothers, but I just don't think someone is ready before that. You have to be at least 25 to adopt a kid, so I think you should have to wait until 25 to have a biological one too.
Kids should not be having kids. If someone is still living with their parents and totally dependent on them for food, clothes, money, and shelter then they are definitely not ready to be parents.
I think people should wait until after they graduate from college and after they get married.

But that's just my opinion

Not everyone goes to college Just bringing up a point.

I also don't think women should have kids after 40.
My dad was 42 when I was born and I'm sad that he is old now and he won't be in my life long like my mother will.
Not only is it sad for the child to have an old parent, but its also unsafe. Complications are common when having a baby after 40. In fact, even having one past 35 is considered risky.
