Is 21/22 too young

i guess it really depends on who you are, and what you would like to do before you really settle down because you’ve just hit the 20s and this is when a lot of people have the time of their lives, and create memories worth a lifetime but that’s not to say that you’re too young because if you are really ready, you’ll know, it would be 100% clear to you so it’s your decision

ps. congrats on being in love and also in some cultures 4 years apart in a relationship is said to be lucky 😀

I think age dosent matter. It deppends how mature you guys are and If you think you are prepared to deticate your life to another little soul.
You sound like a lovely couple and like your man said, Is any one ready.
Most people dont relise the huge role of looking after and having children and find once they have there first child they relise no they wernt ready but It is our natural Instinct as a mother to be maturnal and love our children and we soon learn about the role and how to do it efficiently.
I think having family support is a huge bonus for any body!
Being a mum is great.
It is a huge life change and makes you grow up fast but no regrets from me and Im only 21 with a 2 year old son and my partner is only 23.

age is just a number, its when u guys feel its right eg emotionally and financially and have the stability to bring up a child. good luck!

I agree that only you can be the judge as to whether you are too young. If you’re ready then that’s your decision to make. People choose to have children at different ages whether it be in their 20’s, 30’s or beyond. I choose to have children in my early 30’s as I wanted to save money first, buy a house and travel.

I agree strongly with Makeup M abovE!!!! u find a way …. I am a stay at home mum ….hubby grew up soo much since us having bubz he keeps on getting promoted and I havent ever had to work since having bubz we have been set!!…might have another this year if things continue the way they are going.

I think that no one is ever really ready. If you wait until you are, you won’t have any, so if you want babies, why not go for it.

No ring ladies we got a fine and need new tires long story 🙁 so out of pocket over $1000

age is never a matter. But i reckon as long as you are maturely, mentally and financially ready, then you should be fine having kids at such a young age. Just to let you know though it requires a lottttt of hardwork and sacrifices. It is never gonna be about yourself anymore, it is about your bubs and putting them first above yourself and everyone elses. It is all about them them and them, and less time about me me and me. I have been with my partner for 5 yrs now and he has a son, so i’ve been with kid for 5 years too, when he was still almost 2 yo. I’ve seen my partner sacrificed his sleeping time (means no more beauty sleep for us the moms anymore as well), sometimes some days where he can feel abit over it, but most days and most of the time, he loves the experience of having Kiyan and he tells everyone all the time how kiyan changes his priorities and everything in life. His life is better than what it was to be without his son. So really a rewarding job as a parent, but definitely have the cons too. Obviously, only you know it yourself how ready you are. I am sure it will be a beautiful thing. I would love to have kids soon too, but i know i am not financially ready yet, i know im going to be a great mother like i am to my step son, but i know mentally and financially i am not ready to sacrifice my time with my partner just yet

Hey mel 🙂 I don’t think there needs to be a set age for children just when you both feel ready. I’m 19 and just gave birth to my second a week ago, I never ever imagined I’d be a mum of 2 at 19 but although there are positives and negatives I find that being a mum is well worth it all. If you are both ready don’t let age be what holds you back. Although having children does restrict quite a bit socially and its a decision you can’t change so definately make sure your ready. Hope you have a great holiday and good luck with the ring 😉 xx

I love the pros and cons that you mentioned beautystar all such good points, especially about the mortgage and even things like loans and paying bills etc all have to be taken into consideration when you go from having two incomes to only the one. You really have to tighten your belt.

We will have a mortgage one day b4 baby for sure . But we are lucky we have bills of course but no loans 😀 ill never get a credit card ever john did once but thats gone 😀

Im hoping sometime in 2012 😀
