I had my daughter at 21 though and I wish i've would've waited because I would have been more established. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world she is my life. I think a good age is when you have a great career are married and have enjoyed one another for a year or two.

I am like you a mother of 2, and I am 24 years old. I would say wait until you are stable. I am not saying that 20's are a bad time, but when you are in your 30's I think is better. A lot of people in their 20's like to party, by 30's you should have calmed down and ready to be more stable and family orientated. I am 24 and if I could do it over I would wait until I am 30. That's not to say I don't love my boys. I just wish I was financially stable to give them what they deserve.

I have to agree with you, I am 29 and having my first child very soon. I am not saying that in my 20's I would have been a bad mom but I would have regretted the fact that I had responsiblities. A close friend of mine had children young (21 yrs)and last year, she left her husband and starting parting ignoring her children. The excuse was that it was her turn to party and her 2 little girls are 3 & 5.
