[quote=Anonymous]Assuming you’re married, mature and gainfully employed, the ideal time is in your late twenties. I had my kids at 29 and 32, and am now pregnant with my third at 35. I really wouldn’t suggest older than that. It took me a year to get pregnant with my first and ideally I would have been done before 35. The ideal window for me is 27-34.

This board is full of people who will tell you they didn’t start having kids before 35 and never would have been ready. Maybe that’s true, and the best parent is a committed parent, but I think people mess around for too long. In my personal experience, everyone I know started around 30, had two kids, and then in their mid to late thirties when they felt wanted to have a third, felt it was too late. I live in NY and I’m liberal. I’m not in a flyover state or Christian. Just telling you like it is. Once you have children, you will want as many years with them as possible and I wouldn’t have wanted to trade a few more years of sleeping until 10am on weekends or a few more child free vacations in Italy to have kids. Get that done in your mid twenties. [/quote]
