What do you think is a good age to have a child(ren)?

[dogzr#1]

I chose between the ages of 26 and 29. It's not really early or late, and it is right in the middle. Most people are stable (physically, emotionally, and financially) by then. Some may wait until they are 30 to have kids, which is also ok. I, myself, will probably wait until I'm out of college until I even plan on having kids.

Personally, I don't want children. IF I do decide to get one I will adopt. That'll be if I do want a child. But I chose ages 26-29 because I would rather settle into a marriage before having a kid.

I voted 26-29. I think it's a pretty good age for many people because many people are emotionally mature enough to have children, and still pretty young. I could see myself having a child at 28 or 29, but you never really know I guess! Eric is great with kids, I'd have no worries there, he has far more patience than me.

People marry at widely divergent ages, my mom married on her 29th birthday, so all the early options on your poll were off the table by then.

The woman I basically nannied for was 40 when she had her daughter, never married. She never regretted having her daughter, who is now 25 and a fabulous person.

So much varies from person to person - you may think when you are 14 or 15, that by 25 you will be settled enough for a child, but when you reach 25 realize that you are not where you thought you'd be in your life.

I stand by my "it is different for each person and each couple."
