Marriage and Children age?????

[saratogadreamin09]

What do you think is the right age to get married and have kids???????


I think 25 or 26 is good for getting married and 28 or 29 is good for having kids

 

[AmandaSparks730]

My parents were married at 24, had me at 28. (They are the same age)

ACK! all this talk of growing up! haha.

Marriage for me...honestly, if I could I'd get married now. My boyfriend & I have been dating for 3 years and I love him sooo much and I could definitely see myself having a family with him. But if we're being reasonable, we'll probably wait until we're done school and on our feet to get married, so probably around 24-25 (ZOINKS! THATS SO SOOOOOOON!) and kids I DEFINITELY don't want until I'm at LEAST 30.

I want to get married around 24 or 25, and have kids a little bit after that.

I dont want to start having kids too late because I dont want to be an "old" parent

My parents are 44 and I like that there in there mid-40's when I'm in my teens

this is true, but i don't want to be an immature mom. (DISCLAIMER*NOT SAYING THAT YOU GUYS WILL BE IF YOU WANT KIDS YOUNG, dont wanna start any fights here lol) I just don't think I personally will be able to handle a kid when I'm younger.
I wouldnt mind being an older parent. My mom had me when she was 30, she just turned 50 and I never really had an issue with it.

I dont mean very young, I mean 28 or 29 ish. I just dont want to be 35 or 40 when I start to have kids


My parents were married at 22 and had me at 29

 

[bananda]

i want to be married at 21 or 22. i want to have my first kid by the time im 25. probly wont happen like that though, i turn 21 in a bit over 2 years.

 

[chisnpeke]

I'm not sure if I want to get married. I do sometimes but it's not something I have to have.

I definitely want kids by the time I'm 25 though.

I want to be a young mom. I'm really maternal and mature already, I don't think I need to wait until I'm older to be able to take care of a child.
I don't really care about getting married. Like, I want to, but I want a child more. When I think about having a kid, I just think about all the cool things I'll get to teach him/her. How happy and how loved I could make a kid feel.

 

[pitt02]

I think it all depends on what you want and what you plan to do? I feel that I want to get married after Im done with college and on having kids thats a decision for a later day?

 

[pigletgirl]

I see myself getting married around the age of 23, and then having kids later around the age of 30 or so? Being in med school will be a good birth control!

That's how I feel too.

 

[saratogadreamin09]

Just adding more as I think of it

After I get married I dont want to start having kids imidetely. I want to be married for 2 or 3 years before I start to have kids



I rly have to stop planning my life out

I want to be a young dad. I feel that if I'm younger, I'll be able to understand my kid more. How s/he feels, what I should do. I think I want to get married at 22 or 23 and have a kid at 24 or 25.

My mom was done having kids by 28.

She had me at 22, Collin at 24, and my little brother at 28.

When my brother, and I were younger (like 4 & 2) people would always give my parents dirty looks, and one time this lady was like, "Babies having babies, what has this world come to?"

My mom was so pissed.

 

[Axel]

My mom was 32 when she had me...so my dad would have been...*math* 46. We don't really get along.

My french teacher is in his late 60s/early 70s and his youngest son is 11.

That lady was no lady! She was a *****! Totally out of line, even for me! Maybe your mom just looks young.

I don't really have an age in mind for when I want to get married and have kids.

I want to take my time in regards to marriage, so that I don't find myself with the wrong person one day and end up adding to the growing divorce rate. I also want my kids to have a solid family to lean on. I want them to know who their father is and be able to play around with him at home and ask him to help them with their math and science hw (because chances are I won't be much of a help in that area ). I want them to be able to go into our bedroom Christmas day and and be all "MOM! DAD! SANTA CAME!"

Yeah, so I don't want to have kids until I'm married either. That way, I can take my time to find the right guy. And then...when we know that we're about as ready to have kids as we're going to be, we can go from there.

Yup.

You see, I've over-thought this wayyy too much. I keep thinking "Do I want to get married young?" and then I think of all of the problems rushing things leads to. And the fact that I only want to get married ONE TIME. That's it. And if it takes me a while to find the right person because of that...then I don't care. Because the wait will be totally worth it.

And I've NEVER had a close family, outside my immediate (IE: My mom, dad and sister). I can't even remember most of my aunts/uncles names most of the time and that's sad! I WANT MY KIDS TO KNOW MY SISTER! AND I WANT THEM TO KNOW THEIR FATHER'S BROTHERS AND SISTERS. And I want to have them be able to take their Grandparents to school on those "Take Your Grandparents To Breakfast!" things they have in elementary school.

I want my family to be able to celebrate my/my sister's childrens' birthday's together and get together for the holidays and stuff. Because I never had that!

Yup. Taking my time....and waiting for THE man for me, will be totally worth it.

 

[My Wild Love]

I don't know when or if I want to get married.
For me personally I will probably have kids when I am in my mid to late 30s because I want to travel before I have kids, joined the peace corp, and then have a steady job.
