best time to have kids

[lilwing89]

just wondering everyone's opinion.

I think after college (and well after college) for most people is a good idea.

I agree. I would imagine that would make it easier financially. I don't plan on having kids until Im at least 30. Afterall, I won't be done with school until I am nearly 27. Plus, if I don't finish school now, I probably never will.

[vashti]

Good plan, Ellyn. That is exactly the way it should be done.

[Kiechi]

Wheres the "never" option?

[Gigabitch]

I agree that should be on there.

IMO, wait until you're around 30. Having kids changes a lot of things, and you should build a strong realtionship with your spouse before that happens.

I went with "years after college grad." This gives a person more experience in life along with more financial shit set up. That way, if there's a problem, they can just pull off "oh hey! I know how this shit works, I'll pull myself out of the hole without a problem."

I could say more, but I choose to not offend vashti with my appallingly low intelligence level. I care about what other people think of me because I'm emotionally weak, unstable, and insecure.

No, really....

[Gigabitch]

Again with the tears and semen. Sheesh!

I went with High School; you know; cause it's funny.

You use the phrase "get married and have kids" as if "getting married" and "having kids" are the same thing.

I was married about 18 months after completing an undergraduate degree (I was in grad school), but our oldest wasn't born for another 6 years. In between we had a lot of fun and growth as a couple. I don't know if that pattern is currently common, but many friends about our age followed a similar timeline.

i went for soon after college grad. since there was no ages on there and i never went to college. I would like to get married with in the next few years (currentley 22) I have took alot of time over the last few years to think about this! When i was younger i did not want to get married when i was about 19-20 but i have thort about this on so many diffent times and have decided that i would like to do it if some one would have me but it would have to be with the right girl!

I say get married as soon as you can afford a place of your own. Wait at least 5 years after that before having a kid.
