Children are hideously expensive. So when you can afford the clothes, toys, equipment they need. Children are demanding - they need constant attention, even when you want just to be left alone. Children are loving - they need love, even when you are tired, upset and worried. Children need an education - so when you have enough knowledge to teach them. Children need stability - so when you are in the position to offer them a stable and loving home. When you can do all those, then you are old enough to have a child.
I don't think it's as easy as just giving a numerical age range. I know some girls who got pregnant in high school who are wonderful moms, and I know parents in their 30's and 40's who are HORRIBLE parents. I saw a group on Facebook who says ALL women under 22 yrs old should be forced to have abortions. I was almost crying thinking about people who wouldn't be alive if that happened, including my oldest son. I also think the financial aspect is not set in stone. I've heard salary amts listed as If you don't make this much, you shouldn't have children. Some of these appropriate dollar amounts would put teachers, nurses, civil servants or clergy members shouldn't have children ludicrous. I think, if you have the maturity to understand the realities of having children and the sacrifices parents have to make, if you can provide all the child needs (like shelter, safety, clothing, food, medical care, etc), you are mentally and emotionally able to care for yourself and your child, it's ok to have kids, whether you're 18 or 38.
After you have done 75% of what you want to do with the rest of your lifestart a career, travel, go to school, buy a house, get married, etc. Once you have children, they will consume most of your time. A good age range is 30-35.
I would say no earlier than 22years. I say that because your body has matured to its full extent then and your mind has been moulded pretty much also. After this age its down to your maturity, financia security and what you desire from life. If your willing to love your child more than yourself, then thats 33% of the requisite. If you have enoughmoney and a stable career that will not be hampered terribly by a baby, then thats the other 33%. If you have achieved most of what you want from a singular living style, then you are probably ready for a child. Once you know you have the patience to attend to a difficult task for the next 20 years, then go ahead.
Did you allow a dog to pee on one in real life? Well, did ya?
