27 is ideal in my opinion. I hope my daughter gets married at this age. Ha she is only 8. I got engaged at 27, married at 29 and had 3 kids in my thirties. |
Similar to me I was a stitch younger. 23 married, 26 1st kid, third kid at 33. My oldest likes that I was / am a mom on the younger side of her other friends. I could have done same age for marriage but one year older before i had 1st baby. |

My college boyfriend dumped me and I was heartbroken as it was a bad breakup. I met my husband at 27, married at 29 kids at 33 and 36.
If I had to do it again, I would have started having kids earlier (just after being married) and had 3. Other than that, I am glad to have experienced new young adulthood without a serious boyfriend as it made me realize I can be independent, manage my own finances and make my own choices. I realize that some people want to do that within a couple, but I was raised in a very strict household where women were subservient to a man. Experiencing young adulthood on my own was very important for my self worth. |
| I’ll add that I was not into sleeping around in my young adulthood, and didn’t really date after my college boyfriend until I was ready for marriage (around 26 or so). |

This is a 49 year old Jewish alleged "comedian" and D-list MTV reality show loser married to a corny "comedian" husband, who owes his entire career to being a Joe Rogan sycophant. She married him at age 32. Two kids when she was age 40 and 42, which sounds like a donor egg, IVF, and surrogate situation after the dweeb hubby made some scratch. Why would anyone seek or take this broken woman's advice? |
| IDK keeping a marriage together for 17 years and doing the responsible thing of waiting to be financially stable to have kids doesn't sound broken to me, even if her schtick is vile. |
Circle back in five or ten years when her or her husband get cancer, then see if she still waxes on about how great buying some IVF babies was in her 40s.

NP Ans I’m late to the party but I won’t freak out if DS has a kid while still in college, heck, even HS. I waited until my 30s and I am not sure it was the right thing to do.
The most important thing is not to miss the window altogether. No teen wants a 60 yo mom or dad lol |
| I am glad I waited until 27 to settle down with someone and even then I think I was too young and should’ve waited longer. I am divorced and in my 40s now and my “picker” is much more evolved. |
| I married at 28 and it was a mistake. Men are so disappointing that getting married to one before age 40 is a waste of one's best years. |
| Had no interest in getting married before 30 and hope child doesnt either. Most people are still growing into themselves, finding career, deciding if they do or don’t want kids, all of that. |
Except there are way fewer men to pick if you are in your 40s and want a family |
