I think the best age is around 24-26. That way you have lived your life and enjoyed everything, got your career together and have a steady place and ready for a family. Then you are young enough to keep up with them. It is so much easier to wait until then, rather then being 15 and struggling. Those are the best ages.

I dont think there is a specific age. I think you should start a family when your finances are straight and when you have mentally prepared yourself. The reason why I say that there is no certain age is because you have 33 year old women who cant even support their child.

Phillygirl is right. Some adults can't even take care of their own children. However I don't think that any 13 year old can possibly be mature enough to start a family. Whenever you are absolutely sure and aware of the time, financing and risks involved then thats when you should start a family. In my opinion the couple should be married, only to provide more stability, but once again this is simply my opinion.

I agree with your opinion. You should be married with a place. Aware of all the risks. Be ready financially and emotionally. Two incomes are better than one. And the support of your husband is best, than a boyfriend telling you to abort it.

There's no time when u shud have a baby-u have one when ur emotionally, finanically ready 4 one. Of course, being a catholic, i'd say for me, after marriage but not everyone has my views.
Go for what ever u want, whenever ur ready!

While I believe that being married is the best place to bring a child into, I don't agree with the two income. I'm a stay-at-home with my son and we had to sacrifice a lot in order to do that.

Anyway, if you're not married, then I hope you'll not consider this. If you're married, i'd say any time you and your husband agree. I'm in my twenties and my all my friends are too. We're all married, but young.
