I wanted to start a lot earlier than I did... but glad I didn't. Not because it would have been too early or me too young though just wouldn't have worked out lol. My husband is younger than me... I was 26, him 21. & we'd just met a couple years before... dated a year before getting engaged. <BR/><BR/>I think it def can be harder the younger you are... is hard anyway lol.. but it can be done. One of my cousisn had her first at 17 and made it. She's done a great job w/ her kids too. But won't recommend going that young to anyone.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877510817457439788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506891.post-87862313228618713822008-07-06T00:37:00.000-05:002008-07-06T00:37:00.000-05:00I ALWAYS wanted to be a young mom. I actually reme...I ALWAYS wanted to be a young mom. I actually remember HOPING I was pregnant a few times, when I was in my awful college relationship. YIKES.<BR/><BR/>My idea was like yours--have a whole bunch of kids and then be done by the time I was 30. Well, I'm 29 with 2, and didn't even get started on kids until I was 26. I have a feeling I'll be in my late 30s before we're done....but it was a good thing I was young when the boys came home...I don't know how I would have handled it!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and on the sex thing--that really made me laugh because of how many comments it inspired! :) I often wonder why God made men and women so very opposite in sexual needs and desires....<BR/><BR/>SaraSara K.

I love the way we did it. Got married at 22, first kid at 27. In that 5 years I did my masters degree, we saved up for a house, and had a little fun. We met when I was 19. I have friends that had kids at 18 and are perfectly happy and have been great parents. Kids at 18 just was not for me, specially since I had not met the right guy yet!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379898482734875495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506891.post-31859831038603759252008-07-05T10:26:00.000-05:002008-07-05T10:26:00.000-05:00There is no right age... it is whenever you are re...There is no right age... it is whenever you are ready. I was 25 and my husband was 33 when we had our first.

I don't think there ...I've been watching that show. I don't think there is a right or wrong time, but some times are more right than others. I know that when DH and I were way younger, we were just too immature. Even when I thought I was REALLY ready and started to TTC, he wasn't ready and looking back, I'm glad we didn't get pregnant back then. It's a tough call. I think having a baby makes you grow up a lot more no matter what age you are. Even if you are 40 and have your first, having a baby knocks you on your ass. LOL. I think that your reasoning is good though...get them grown while you are still young enough to really enjoy the rest of your life. That's what I'm looking forward too and we didn't have our first until we were nearly 30.Rheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705526520276556141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506891.post-56627208626888240622008-07-03T20:00:00.000-05:002008-07-03T20:00:00.000-05:00I don't think there is ever a right time or a righ...I don't think there is ever a right time or a right age to start a family. People are all so different its impossible to came up with a good time for everyone. In my opinion if it is meant to work out it will. For me getting pregnant at 18 and having 5 kids by the time I was 25 worked and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09805850048340573096noreply@blogger.com
