[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New to this thread.  My DS is 13 and I am 56.  There are so many reasons to have kids as early in adulthood as possible.  Here's another: having kids gives you time to get your priorities straight, so don't postpone it.  I dithered and waited, thinking my career had to be established first.  But after spending years trying to have a career, I had the kids and finally had the leisure to understand myself better and entirely changed my professional direction.  Point is, if I had had the kids then the career, I would not have wasted time in the wrong profession and I could now have kids in college and pour my full attention into the career.  Having kids in the 20s or 30s is so much more sensible.  [/quote]

It may be sensible but it is not always possible.  Many of us really wanted children sooner but didn't find our spouses until later.  I was never really a career person and really wanted children earlier but it just didn't happen for me that way.[/quote]
