31. Would have waited until 40 if not for my wife’s prompting.

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.

36 - just right timing Imo ~30 is a great age to find a partner. Spend ~5 together before adding another to the fam - able to fk around, travel, build buffer in your 20s without the responsibility of another person - a better sense of self and maturity to know what a child needs BUT everyone’s life is different

38, and honestly I'm glad I waited. Needed a few decades to be self-centered. I might have waited a little longer, but as I am the mother it was safer not to wait forever. In the end, it was the perfect timing.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

32, 2-4 years sooner theoretically, but the timing right now is kinda perfect unrelated to age. More time with baby would be awesome. Focused on living much longer than the average person anyways!

We took our kid home from the hospital on my 36th birthday. I think we pretty much nailed it. We were in a solid financial situation and both well established in our respective fields, so we can give her all the attention she needs. Even a few years earlier would have been much harder for us.
