Age to have children.

[Eoin247]

When I am in a stable relationship and (capitals needed) CAN SUPPORT THE CHILD WITHOUT LIVING OFF THE STATE!!!!

One of my friends dads fathered them at 58..

Over 45 is a bad idea IMO. I know people who have parents who weren't able to interact with them as well due to the parent's age as they grew up. The parents just get too tired too easily.

I'm 19 and my dad is over 60 now, and if i was even a few years younger i can tell it would be tough on him.

Hell we were looking at apartments in Dublin a few days ago and we had to stop to sit down and have a coffee frequently

omg at you people saying 25

i am still gonna be hittin the clubs at 25

30 at the earliest for me

Exactly. Sure the best clubs around are for over 21s anyway. You'd want a least a good few years in them

My dad is also over 60 now, and I haven't had any problems with him personally - to be honest, I am grateful that I have had the chance to grow up in a stable middle class family! I know what you mean by the annoying coffee breaks though :L

The ideal age for me is probably 29.

[Daltron]

28-38

I think the best time is where you can actually afford to bring one up.

Personally for me, I'm thinking something like 27+ - I won't start working in my field until I'm 22, and then there's a wedding to pay for And house/car etc. Kids can wait.

Whenever you're ready to, one of my friends is a 17 year old mother and she is great at it.. but obviously she needs the grandparents to step in as they're both at college. Just when you feel ready tbh.

My mum was a mother at 19 and shes done a very good job
so has a lot of my aunts and cousins
so id say 19

whenever you're ready and stable enough to care for a child
