[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...Looking at all of these results, becoming a first time parent at 23 looks young.

I was 24, so i was quite young too. I read somewhere that the average age is 25 or 26 to become a dad for the first time but i was the only one in my group of friends and 5 years later i'm still the only one, it's weird i would never have guessed that other guys wait so much longer with the average at mid 20.[/quote]

I'm 27 and was the first in my group, i agree i would have guessed we were the average age.[/quote]

I think "average" is highly misleading, because I think these numbers vary wildly for economic and educational levels.

=<HS diploma: average is probably more like 22

=>BA|BS: average is probably more like 29

And I think it's creeping up.  Boomers were averaging mid-20s; X-ers and Millenials are in their 30s.  Education + Career = late start.

There is another thread were people argue that the average age is going down again. Does anyone else think it will be just the opposite? I think the age will go up even more at least for first time dads. [/quote]
