28, I would not have started sooner, but I also don't think I would've waited longer That's probably not helpful lol

25. Wouldn’t change anything. My kids have shaped everything in my life for the better. Waiting longer would have delayed the best decision making tool I’ve ever been given.

Started at 25 and had 4 by 30. I didn't get time to think about it.

Had my first at 39. I think I did it just right. Less about when to have kids and more about finding someone to have them with and earning what I thought was enough to be comfortable. Of course I underestimated that and then had a second one.

31 (a year ago) and nope, timed it perfectly. It’s a delicate balancing act of resources (time, money) but I’d like my child(ren) to grow up modest and not have things handed to them.

First at 42. Second at 44. Done at 46! I think I started at the perfect age; financially stable enough to provide my kids with a life I could never have dreamed of, but not too set in my ways that I can't adapt to the shit show that is ensuing along the way.

29 and would have started sooner By comparison my parents had me at 21 and I was out of the house by the time they were 40 So I had lots of time with them when they had the most energy, and now they’re living a great life still youngish (in their 50s) and enjoying time with their grandkids

I had my kids at 28, 29, and 32. There was a period in my late 30s I wished I had waited bc I was comparing myself to other women my age who had achieved more than me professionally, but that was mostly fleeting. Can’t change the past anyway, so no regrets.

I will preface with the fact that I no longer reminisce about changing the past because I always end up thinking, “then I wouldn’t have my exact children I have now and nothing is worth that.” BUT I would have started earlier. Life is better with children and ultimately everything else I achieve is meaningless

23. It was hard and I'm a better father now than I was then but I wouldn't change the timing if I could. I wouldn't have matured and had the same drive to get my career in a solid place as soon otherwise.
