22-26

If you kids wait until they are your age they probably wont have grandparents either

Not defined by age but by experience - go to college and graduate at 22. Get a career going for 3-5 years while dating et al. Get married at around 27-28 and a few years to have kids. So, start with having kids at 32 and back up all the other stuff.

Never

22 but I met my husband in college. Still together 15 years later. Finished having kids before 30, and look forward to our empty nest days! But agree with others that it needs to be the right person. I was lucky to find him early and we basically grew up together.

I think 26-27 is perfect.

I was 24, I knew I wanted a few kids and didn't want to be an older parent. Also it helps that I found the man of my dreams at 21.

same situation here, 25 was perfect for me and my husband was 27

Another +1. This is the ideal...but obviously not everyone has met a suitable mate by then

+1 25 was our perfect age too. And with combined savings we bought our first condo at 25 then had enough time and appreciation on that for our forever home at 30 when we were pregnant. We truly have a happy marriage and I think a lot of it was growing up together. We met at 20.

26-30

Not a minute before 30.

women: 25-30
men: 30-35

When you have been dating a person you actually want to have with you 10 years from now.

Adding on to this- I feel like this post makes it sound like we were burdened by kids. Not the case! We very much wanted kids. I just liked knowing that we had plenty of time to do what we wanted, travel solo, etc. and make sure we felt “ready” without feeling like we needed to have kids right away due to biological clocks ticking or what have you.
