And by time I could mean age,event in life or achievement?

Some people claim you should have your children when you are younger, get them through school and then out of the house so you can have the house to yourself when you are older .Others say have them when you are older so you have time to enjoy your life and they will stay with you when you are old and need someone around. Those who support having them young suggests 24 to maybe 32 because a woman’s biological clock is in prime capacity .Those who suggest older might say start at 32 right up through 45.

There are those who support having them within certain age groups but that is dependent on attainment of certain achievements like an education,a car,house a job and savings .This category claims then they will be better able to take care of children so they believe attain these things first and then have children when older.
Still other cling to having them younger get them through school and then spend older time really accumulating their wealth and replenish what was spent on kids.

Some say neither of the above and have them when they are married.

Other have no plan and for them its totally spontaneous.

Which category do you belong to or for you its a combination of categories or you don’t see your category .If you don’t see your category please add it and tell us your views.

Two years after marriage is the right time to have a child. This will help both parent and the child. For parent it is easy to take care of the child and in return the child will be helpful to his parent in their old age.

Sounds like a nice strategy.Enough time for parents to know each other and then enough time for both to know child when the child comes

Hello ronnyb! I do believe that there is a right time when having a child or chldren. My husband and I decided to have a child after 5 years. We still want to spend our life alone together. We also want to establish first and that everything would be set before having a baby. It would be very hard for me to work and help my family.

I do not really have a specific category that I would like. I just feel that whenever the two people are ready to make the commitment, they could have the children then. I just feel there should not be a norm and it could be the couple's choice.

Well I think children are best when you are still young, aroud 20 to 30 for me the best age. Since children need lots of energy and patience, the more you get older the less energy and less patience. I know lots of couples who leave too much time for having children. I think after marriage two years are the best time, however it sure depends on your financial positions too since children need lots of money.

I think it all depends on the couple having them.You don't always get the choice they can just come along.Every body would like to have enough money the right size house ect and if you can get it right thats good.When we I had my first family I was eighteen lots of energy but no money we got by like you do,with my son who is fifteen we still did not have much money,but we did have a nice house,we could afford to run,I seemed to have energy and a lot of time to spend with him .It is a state of mind that makes you have a baby,if you wait for the right house, have to earn a certain amount, get so many years under your belt,when you do try for a baby it may be so late,so there is no right or wrong time to have a baby,untill it suits you.

Very good answer .I think in that most instances its just spontaneous and you have no control and like you said if some of us wait on a good time it would never happen.Consequently sometimes the best plan is no plan at all
