I'm 3yrs old i had my first child at 19 i married my high school, college sweetheart. My husband and i was rooted in the church so yes that makes a difference. We brought our first home at 20. by 23 i had three wonderful kids and was a stay/work from home school going mom. I'm grateful I had them young because I was full of energy for park time and play dates. Growing up in Chicago I had no where near the life my kids had considering my husband and I mom's had us at 16. But did a great job raising us. As I said I am 38yrs old been married 19yrs In my second home my 20 yr old son is in his 2nd year of college full scholarship deans list... straight A student. My oldest daughter in her senior yr of high school with offers already to become a veterinarian. My youngest is very smart and can't wait her turn. My husband and I....yes still young now gets to travel when ever we want. So I say if your married do it before 25. If not married wait to many single mom's struggle at young ages vs older settled ages...I love this topic ladies and good luck to you guys. And demographics has nothing to do with it. As I stated our parents had us young..struggled and didn't have much but we were just fine. But I don't suggest 16. I say be married and financially secure

I feel its important for people to have their own mind! Don't look for society approval to tell you when you should have your own child.. So many ppl are afraid to have children in there 20s because we are programmed to think we are going to fail and struggle in life, the truth is you will never not struggle or fail because it is apart of life and apart of GROWTH, so learn to listen to your own intuition not others! 💚💚

There's a lot of discussion here about when it's the right time to have children, only taking into account the woman. I'm turning 24, but I don't just ask myself "am I ready? Am I financially secure? Am I responsible enough?" because the answer to those questions for ME is "Yes" or "Almost, " but when I ask myself the same questions about my significant other, the answer is a resounding "NO." People forget that childrearing is a mutual act, and both partners need to be on the sane level. No offense to my boyfriend, but he's not "daddy" material as it stands currently.

I had my first biological child at 21 and my second at 43. So I can see if from a much different perspective. I did my traveling when I was in my early to mid 20's so I could get it out of the way. I figured I would rather be able to travel and have energy rather than be older have more money and be more tired. I am very glad I made that choice. I see now I have a lot more patience than I did when I was 21 and even though 43 is a bit late and OMG I get so tired some times. I have things to offer my child that a younger person would not have to offer. On the other hand, I also had things to offer my older child that I either do not have to offer now or I am too tired to do them most of the time. Neither of my pregnancies were planned actually my youngest child was a complete shock and should never have even been possible. Things happen for a reason and you just go with the flow and in the end it will all work out.
