Children

At what age did you or your partner have children? And if so, how many and what are their ages? I'm 24 now and a lot of girls my age had kids very young, my boyfriend is the same age and we both eventually want children, just not right now

 

I'm 32 years old and still not a mommy! So... don't worry!

 

Hello @lisalovesbacon & @aura

I am 29 and have two beautiful daughters aged 10 and 5

 

I am 27 and have no kids, live alone and I have a cat. lol

 

I was 28 when my eldest was born she is now 15 then my second daughter arrived three yrs later I was 31 she is now 12. There is no perfect age to have children it's what's right for you ! Cher x

 

I have two boys: the one in the photo, who is now seven, and a younger one who is five. My wife and I are the same age and we waited a long time to have kids. She was 37 when the first came along and 39 at the time of the second! -G

 

For those who are interested, there was a good article recently in The Atlantic on how late a woman can wait to have kids:

We dropped our daughters off at their colleges last week. This is the first time in 19 years my wife and I haven't had kids in our house.

As a parent, I'm on the old end of the spectrum. We were married 7 years before our first daughter was born. We were fortunate to have kids with only a 16 months age difference, because they played together.

I remember those first years, lugging around those baby carriages - that was a lot of work. Somehow all that time sort of blends together in my mind, because I am always focused on my job. I can vividly remember holding my daughter in my hands when she was born. Now they are both full-grown women.

 

@Golly - you little man is gorgeous!

I have 2 beauties - a 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son. Lights of my life

I was 27 when I became a mama

 

@Amelia;

Thanks Amelia! He still looks the same to me even though he is older now. My two boys are the most important things in my life.

Yeah...lol..then they become teenagers
I have a 35 year old who lives in Winnipeg, I have a 28 year old who lives in my basement and my baby is 27 going to FINALLY get married 2 Grand kids who unfortunately also live in Winnipeg, don't see them as often as we'd like. Most important thing in my life right besides silence in my head, is getting that bugger out of my basement...lol

 

I had my boys at 29 1/2 yo. They are now 18 1/2YO! Yes, twins. and yes, I'm old!
