How old were you when you had kids?

18 and 23

19 and 21 eek they are 6 and 7 this year!!!!!!

19 AND 21

21 with my son and 22 with my daugther. We had meant to wait longer for our second child but I guess she was deteremined to be created, lol.

There are days I get frustrated enough that I do regret having them so early. However most days it's all worth it. I think you're smart for wanting to wait. Because I had mine so early I have to work extra hard towards a better future for them. I should have waited until that future was already in motion.

Still, they are my everything and give me a reason to breathe every morning.

I was 38. Its been a great age to have a little girl, I enjoy every moment. And I've done lots , p;robably my only regret is not enjoying the freedom more when I had it.
The only comment I would make about putting off having kids, is you need to know how many you want. I only ever wanted the one, so 38 was fine but had I changed my mind and wanted more there hasn't been enough time or any window of opportunity to have another one. For that reason I think around 30 is a perfect age as you have plenty of time.
I certainly think its better to have them later rather than earlier any time under 25 would be too young as you haven't had enough time to sort your self out.

I was 27 when my son was born we plan at least one more and I'd like for my son to be in preschool so likely around 30 or 31 for #2. I want a third my husband isn't so sure but if we do have a third it would be three years after #2 so 33-34 age range.

I had my first at 31 and my second at 34, I had 10 great years with my husband before we had children and now I feel like I can dedicate my time to them rather than worrying about missing out on experiences. However, I have a good friend who had her first child in her very early 20's and she is a brilliant Mum, I take a lot of advice from her as she seems to manage it so naturally.

I'm 23 (24 in April) & My husband is 32 and we don't have any children yet....I worry that the longer i leave it the older we're both going to get & if i wait until i'm 30 he'll be 38....Everyones different i suppose....we don't own our own house yet so i think that is our prority at the moment....It's your choice, noone elses! x

I had my oldest daughter when I was 19. I loved being a mother to her but now that I have basically started a second family in my thirties I realize how much more mature I am and so I think I am enjoying it a whole lot more. I am now 36 and my youngest is 6 months. My children are 17, 3, 16 months and 6 months. Mr six months was a surprise blessing. He ended up being born just 10 days after my father-in-law passed away. You and your hubby have a plan.... stick to it bc ultimately you are the ones that have to raise them so do what is right for you. Your parents are probably thinking a little selfishly than anything bc they are probably just anxious to be grandparents. Hopefully that means they will give you some much needed alone time and take the kids from time to time when you do have them. Being prepared to have kids is so much better than just jumping into it. Good luck and may you be blessed with the family you want when you want it! :happy:

23 , 24 , 30......although...to say i had them might be a bit of a stretch... how about,.. how old was i when my wife had them? i was there for the birth.. and i hope for the conception!Pretty sure they are all mine.. the two crazy ones im sure of…. the one normal kid... I have my doubts ! Doesn’t seem possible that someone that sane came from me. I just don’t have the nerve to ask my wife for a blood test after 20 years. Im crazy...not suicidal
