I have been surprised at the number of women on the board who report having their first child when they were in their teens. That was really common when I was having mine (60's)
So old Chicks were *kitten* too back in the day? Nice
Not at all. Back in the 50's and 60's well payed jobs in forestry or fishing were readily available in British Columbia. Many boys left school to go to work when they were 15 or 16. Several of the larger employers of office workers would take girls who had completed grade ten on a business program. It was almost unheard of for young people to live together before marriage.So kids got married young. Birth control was iffy and many people knew almost nothing about the limited choices that were available so they had their children young too. A lot of my friends were married before they were 18. I think as many of those marriages lasted as those of people I knew who waited till they were more mature.0 -
i was 30.. planned... glad i waited... not having any more.. My son has special needs and it's best if we kept all the energy, time, and money for him and any challenges we may face with him in the future.. bringing in another child may cause pain for that child and i don't really think it's fair to drag another child into it. It was a difficult decision but we are sure!0

:sad: :sad:From: Georgia
Age now: 38
Age at 1st child: 16 (and 2nd child at 19)
I was married and divorced before I could even drink.
Note: It's not a redneck thing (ew), it was the 80's and I was in a relationship with a non-relative. haha
Mississippi here... I think we are #1 in the nation and I teach in the county that is #3 in the state :sad: it does get rather interesting...
Anyway, I married at 17 and had first daugter at 18. Please note that I had already at least finished high school. In retrospect, I should have waited until after college, although it was awesome graduating from the university with our eldest daughter! We were the best study buddies you could imagine!0 -
I was 34 for my first and had my second son at 37. Most of my friends were about the same, but then again, i met most of them in law school.0

From: Pittsburgh PA
Age now: 32
Age when first child was born: 32
i had him Oct 3 via c-section. unfortunately, he was stillborn. i always invisioned myself having children before i got to this age. unfortunately, fate had different ideas. perhaps i'll actually get to experience parenthood one of these days
That is so sad but don't lose hope. As a teen I worked for a woman who had married at 23 and tried immediately to have a family. By the time she was 30 she had had 6 miscarriages. Finally she carried a baby to term. A year or so later she had her 7th miscarriage. When I worked for her as a mother's helper she was 37 and had five little boys under the age of 7.0 -
