Which age in ur opinion is the best to have children? and why?

I would say it depends..
But to me the best age is when the guy and girl know they are ready and not "think" they are ready!
So it varies.

Generally I would say... when the guy is 20 and the girl is 18?!

18? isn't that too young i mean in that age she should be studying and taking care of herself not someone else don't u agree?

I'de say 28-30
both the man and the woman would be mature enough and have good experience to raise a child

18? isn't that too young i mean in that age she should be studying and taking care of herself not someone else don't u agree?

I would agree but some girls don't study and become mothers at that age..
To tell you the truth I have been thinking about it and the best age is when someone is 26.
Because at that time he/she might be already working and can take care of themselves so that would be the best age in my mind!:yes:

I'de say 28-30
both the man and the woman would be mature enough and have good experience to raise a child

That is if they both can wait.
Not everyone can wait till that age...

28 is a little old for the woman I'd say 26 but then that's what I think many might disagree:rolleyes:

So to answer your question my dear Queen I'd say when you are mature capable and responsible enough to raise a child in a good stable home with a good partner that you can one 100% depend on.

I guess not all people are mature at 26 so it depends on the person. My parents don't want us to get married now they keep saying we are still young and all, both got married at a young age according to today's standards all they keep saying study and make sure that you secure your future financially before you think of starting a family in order to live happily because our time is very different from yours! :hyper:

huh?? whose pregnant :O???

lol, from 26 to 32 IMO is the perfect age, 32 being the max, so if a child every year (Allah Yar7am [Allah have mercy]) so max will be six, and the minimum 1 or zerO, just my opinnion

the best age to become a parent is when you can afford it...

^^^ yah exactly

and to me, most people can do that when they are 26-30, you had ur time to be in collage, graduate, built urself, get married and then the kid can come :D

i'm speaking about guys age here ;)

^^
Then that sucks for me..
Since I think about marriage a lot...

i think the age 25 or 26 is perfect (for both genders) as long as both parents are mature enough and financially secured :)

i would say between 25 to 28 as you would be working till your children will finish college and then you can retire without any worries of my child's college fee has be paid and you would have enough retirement money to spend on yourself cuz your children would be working by then

Late twenties early thirties in my opinion.

^ I'm with pixie_girl on Late twenties-Early thirties, but just for men.
As for women, I think anytime after completing 20.

for me, I'm planning to marry when I'm 24-26. Don't care about the girl's age even if she's older than me :os

I don't think the age matters much.. If you're young and you can afford it by all means do it if thats what you want.. The only thing is the majority of us aren't ready financially until later 20's.. Sooo I'm with u guyz on the later 20's part :p

I think anything before both the husband and wife finish their studies is too early. Somewhere around 23-27 would be good, both being done with studies and should be working as well.
18 is way too young! They'd still be teenagers, not mature enough (imo) and would not be able to support the baby financially. I wouldn't want to depend on my parents for providing my kid with the best life possible.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

Age of 16s or 20s the biological reality to get pregnant like play. Energetic, No money.
Age of 20s or 30s the biological reality to get pregnant little planning. Energetic, less money
Age of 30s or 40s the biological reality to get pregnant becomes harder. More money, less energy.
Age of 50s the biological reality get adoption.

NO money NO honey.

I always wanted to have one child by the age of 24. It doesn't look like thats happening, but I thought that is a great age to be a parent. I always loved the concept of young parents. They've more "fun" with their children, than much older parents (if you know what I mean :p).

My parents had us all when they were really young, so we really enjoyed. Since they were still active and more fun, we took many trips and stuff like that. We even bonded more with each other.

However, the most realistic answer I've read on this thread is the one kamakazy gave; it's when you can afford to have them. I am speaking about being financially, emotionally and mentally ready.

^ same here, i always felt that way. i've always wanted to have kids around 24. but generally speaking, i don't think age has anything to do with it. but rather how ready you are to take care of a child. i'm almost 21 and i can't see myself responsible for another life other than my own. for the time being that is! :p

I'm with Lym on parents being fun and play with the children, but I don't think it's because they were very young and had the energy. I see parents who are close to their fourties and play with their children more than those in their twenties!

the best age to become a parent is when you can afford it...

This is the best answer I've read in this thread.


Someone can be 26 or even 35 and still not be ready financially or in any other way.

after i graduate form highschool, i'll need at least 5 years to become fully qualified for my career, i'll then need a gap year plus 2 years of business. so according to my calculations, i would personally be ready to become a father when im 27... i just dont know if my wife will be ready or not...

in the old days a man can work, get married and have a kid while he's still 19, but time changed, ,,,

now to get a descent job u should get a good degree = more years before marrige ...

The younger the mother the healthier the child, unfortunately many mothers wait until they are in mid 30s to have their kids

The could be a reason.

But more than that, in the past people used to be more ready to accept responsibilities at any age *with no exaggeration, even at 6 years of age* unlike today's generation.

Anyway, in term of age.. I think between 19-24 is okay to get married provided they are more ready financially.

I've always thought I'd be married by 21, had the first kid by 23. I don't think that's happening anytime soon..so we'll have to wait and see.

24-30 I think.

23 and above ...

I think its about how the person have lot of much information about whats parenting is and how much s/he can handle it and raise a good child..

If they have awareness about it. they can start thier life.

thanks for the topic. this is gonna be my first topic in comp 2.

^^ u're welcome my dear :D

It's not the age that matters, it's how responsible and mature the person is.

There's no definite age for a person to mature in, it all depends on the person himself.

However, I am with having kids while ur in ur early-mid 20's, this way the age gap between the kids and parents won't be that significant.

So people, mature fast! :D

9 months after wedding day

Once you've earned your degree.
Found a good job.
Own a house.
Be able to secure your and your family's future.
No specific age.

I had my daughter at 19 though I always wanted to be a parent since I could remember I think the perfect age is around 25.

the good thing in having kids early is that your not gonna consider tooo old for them and they feel like "oh my mom is cool" haha and then they can tell you about their problems and all lol
bs i think that 23-25 is good

I don't think it's age that's most important, but whether or not you are ready for parenthood. Ready in every way to be responsible for another human being - mentally, psychologically, financially, etc.

I think answering the question has more to do with the person as well as the society…

60 years ago, an 18 years old man was deemed capable of supporting a family and he was in fact since upbringing a child then wasn’t as demanding as it is nowadays.

In the post 1970 to 2000, I think a new graduate was capable of supporting a family…

Nowadays life is becoming more demeaning and very soon having one’s own house will no longer be an essential priority as it has been always the case…

My advice is to get married as soon as you are ready to support a family and you feel that having the family will not obstacle better career development and future financial planning…

It is a trade off between two things…
It is great to minimize the age difference between you and your children on one hand but also on the other hand you do not want to be financially overloaded as that will have a negative impact on your future family…

I am looking this summer, the interested please send your CV to me :p

for girls 25 or 24

for guys 30

It really depends on how long the couple have been married and whether they r financially stable or not... I guess its better to wait at least 2 – 3 yrs after marriage before having a child so that the couple would have time to get to know each other.
Most women during their pregnancy are not emotionally stable. So I guess the guy should know his wife very well before her getting pregnant so at least he could tell that her change from a sweet loving woman to an angry one is due to pregnancy and not because of other reasons.

i think 26 is perfect age ...for those stuffs..lol

No specific age, since the couples are ready decide about having kids then it's the perfect time.

the earlier the better (22 - 27)... your children can enjoy you and you can enjoy them when you have the energy, youth and little foolishness inside you....

It's not the age that matters, it's how responsible and mature the person is.

There's no definite age for a person to mature in, it all depends on the person himself.


exactly my thought, i'll just add and whenever the parent is financially and pscychologically capable and ready to raise a child .

When the couple are ready, it may vary for everyone :cute:
Plus age is just a number! ;)

It depends on how old you wanna be when you have grandkids. As far as im concerned, i wanna be a grandad when i'm fifty, so if we do the math, i should get a kid at the age of say umm 25-27... techinically speaking, most normal people die around the age of 80, a lil less or a lil more, so i should be able to spend a good 25 years with my grandsons and daughters.

Honestly i think if the person is mature and they know they ready for marriage and kids then they should go ahead and do it...i dont think an age matters but they must be atleast 13 and up...

A good age to become a parent is 25-27

I would die to have kids right now, but I can't!!

Whenever the couple are ready to have kids then they should have them. There's no specific 'right' age.

Age is just a number, so whatever.

Whenever the couple are ready to have kids then they should have them. There's no specific 'right' age.

:yes: :yes: :yes:

Good Age = 35 - 37

Age is just a number, so whatever. that applies may be to men and not women.

I think 20s 30s or early 40s is right mmh

Whenever the couple are ready to have kids then they should have them. There's no specific 'right' age.

Normally a girl can get pregnent at the age of 13 ... I doubt that a 13 ears old chick can be a good parent,, not even 16 or 19 years old can be a good parent.

I didnt see many 13 years old girls in Oman getting married but I saw many 19 years old ( once a girl join college they are always like " OMG Folana got married and am still single " )


So Ages matters , because it comes with experiance and more education and knowledge .. am sure that there are cases where a 30 years old girl can be still so ignorant but thats not a common thing "I hope "

25 for a lady and 27 for a men

When the line I can't take care of anything but myself, fades away :rn:

Between 30 to 35

In my opinion 26-27

24+ for both genders.

Depends on when the parents get mature and smart. Same goes for marriage I suppose. If I was to choose the age for you, I would say wait for few more years :p

22-23 .

hmmm 30 -35 yrs..

Someone can be 26 or even 35 and still not be ready financially or in any other way.


Totaly Agree:)

Age is just a number, does not indicate how mature, responsible, and capable you are to have a Child

33-35 is where am gonna start thinking.
