What age did you have kids at?
Do you think it was the right age or would you have waited? Or were you too old?- I had my first kid at 37. Another at 42 this year. I wish life had made it possible to have them younger. It would be easier.l for sure.monospaced

- A friend had his daughter at 48. She's 8 now and he coping well for a guy in his mid 50s.zardoz
- Ain't got no time for kids.ArmandoEstrada
- at 45, I wish I could have had my kid at a younger age, like 35, but life didn't make it that way and when I look back I'm glad it happened now somehow.oey_oey
- 30 & 32. It felt about the right age for us. My wife is five years younger than me and that alleviated some of the health worries that can arise in older womenMorning_star
- 30. I remember my wife meeting one of my aunts and she had said to have all your kids by the time your 25. She was 27 at the time.PhanLo
- 42 and I think it was perfect timefisheye

- 42 and couldn't be happier - I was better preparedwhatthefunk
- 31 / 35; just right to enjoy my own life, just my wife & I and than (eventual) child ownership. Wouldn’t change a thing. Heir and a spare.ideaist
- 40 & 44, We are "older" parents fo sure. It's exhausting. Not sure if it would have been any easier when we were younger.fooler
- my partner is only 3 years younger and she was treated as an "geriatric" even though she is/was healthy and fit.fooler
- both 40, was a surprise but turned out to be the best thing. I started taking better care of myself after him mentally and physically.Beeswax
- me 28 & 30, wife is 3y younger. She wants me to be an older parent, I'll never grow up. There's no perfect time for anything, just go.ArchitectofFate
- 30 and 33 (wife is 1 year younger), perfect time for us, I miss when they were younger, but, ey... Time fliesOBBTKN
- 41, we are the same age. It's good to be an older parent, I don't feel sorry for going to bed so earlydmay
- had mine at 40. too old im knackeredtrooperbill
- 38 - 41. Its ok now. But I do worry when they are older and we are maybe too old.tank02
- 39 and 41... if there was a way I could've done it at 22 I'd be in better shape those kids tear me apartjonny_quest_lives
- Totally with oey_oey here - my daughter came into my life when I was 41 and I'm so glad she did then, as we thought we weren't going to make it ever...Nairn
- ... but I often wish I could somehow have done it at an earlier age, as frankly it saddens me knowing all the things I'll miss out on when I'm dead :(Nairn
- Also - tired lots, lol.Nairn
- 37 (wife 36). It's very individual but for me this was perfect. Had my (many) wild years behind me, was healthy and wealthy. And grandparents still around.Longcopylover
- got my first dog at 47.... wish id done it earlier might have stopped me having kidswoowahesque
- Man so tired...tank02
- So Millenials having kids...********
- 36. I wish I would ve been a dad earlier.maquito
- 39 for the first, the second should arrive just before my 42nd bday. I sometimes wonder if the first couple of years would...robotinc
- ... have been easier if we started 5-10 years younger. Then again i enjoyed what we did with that freedom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯robotinc
- ^yupmaquito
- I used to compare my age to my parent’s re: marriage, kids, buying house, etc. dunno why. They’re “old” now, in their 70’s...maquito
- ...I wonder if I’m also going to be “old” when I’m 70 sthng -_ö_-maquito
- I’m 41 now and I still feel (& sometimes behave) like a teenager.maquito
- lol, agree with the "deposit checks,not sperm" crowd. My partner and I prefer freedom.garbage
- 42, we tried for years, 3 rounds of IVF didn't work, egg donor worked first time, wee guy is the best. Wished we had him sooner so I would have more time latermrAtor
