Mom-22, Dad-23. My mom had all four of her kids before she turned 24.

My paternal grandmother had 10 kids by age 32

Dad was 24(2 months from 25) and mom was 21.

I was 34 and the wife 35 when we became parents.

Do you all think that there is an ideal age for children?

Depends on the parents. Some need to be older(late 20's/early 30's).so that they're mature enough and others are mature enough in their young 20's.

Just the opposite of my Father. He was preceded by 4 sisters and the youngest.

Dad had just turned 25, mom 24. They had been married 6 years. Exemplary parents. They realized they got it right on the first try and had no more kids.

My husbands parents were 19 and 20. Also very good parents. Divorced after the kids were grown.

42 and 40.

I was an oopsie baby. Both my siblings were teenagers already. I was told my Dad just bought a boat two weeks before my Mom found out she was pregnant.

27/26. My mom was a fantastic mom.

I’m glad I had my kids young so they could grow up with her around.
