I mean i never stood why so many people kids especially in the early to mid 20s. I just don't have time for kids yet it seems like everyone else has kids. I just wanna to know why? Is it because no protection, you loved that person, etc. Then when people are like 21 with 4 kids I just wanna know where do you find the time to do that and juggle a career because school, work, internship is all I have time for right now. So yeah anybody with kids wanna answer this?


P.S I don't plan on having kids till I am married for at least 3 years. To many kids in the world as it is no need to bring in more because you cant wrap it up.

I have 3. Im 43 yrs old and single parent. i had kids because i love kids and i wanted to be able to give my legacy to them. and my son well hes the one that will carry my family name on. and not to mention that i have a wonderful 2yr grand daughter that i love dearly. u ask how we can do it. with kids u just do everything the best u can. hope for the best and just live and enjoy. im sure ur parents did the same tthing with u

I had my kids at age 18 & 21 do I think I was young...of course, but I managed. I worked, I went to college, and raised my babies till I remarried when my youngest was almost 2. I'm glad I was young cuz I was able to participate more in their activities, had the energy to play all day, I learned quickly to be an adult and to be a mommy. I wouldn't have changed a thing

Well I'm pregnant with my 4 or 5th depends on how you look at it. I work from home so its really not hard for me at all.

But why do people have kids especially so many at such a young age jw

Different reasons. My first I was raped. My sons was both planned. The first one because we wanted another child and the second I thought would make losing my daughter easier which it didn't. This one was a complete failed birth control accident.

Well things just happen. everything happens for a reason. my 1st was born when i was 20. Then 18 months later my second was born. do i have regrets no i do not. yeah i was young. but i love my kids and greatful that i had them early. while they were growing up i did so much with them and had the energy for it lol. Reasons for having there is reasons things just happen. could be a persons hormones and sex drive that lead them to it. Maybe they r just ready. who knows but will say this bringing a child into the world is a wonderful thing. when i held all my kids for the first time if i did have any regrets they were all gone real quick when i held my precious babies in my hands

@polarbear71484: please allow me to offer my perspective. i fathered my first child when i was 21. i was totally unprepared in every sense of the word. fortunately, my oldest daughter turned out just fine thanks to a lot of love and care mostly from her maternal grandparents. my sons didn't come along until i was in my mid 30s. mentally and spiritually i was better prepared to accept & assume the role of fatherhood, but the tradeoff was that now, i'm closing in on my mid 50s and can't physically keep up with two teenage boys. i don't know that there's any such thing as an ideal age to become a parent. you just step up to the plate, give it everything you got for the sake of your kids and enjoy the good times while you can.

Is is wrong to in general not like children just wondering? I really dont like kids at all honestly I when I think of children I think of chuckie and children of the corn, but I digress kids are to much of a life commitment because it seems like a lot of people have kids and it does work out then the kid suffers because of your mistake so I rather not have that responbility

What doesn't work out? How does the child suffer? U mean the parents relationship don't work? So, that has no equation to rather a child suffers or not. I wasn't with either of my children's daddy's and they lived a great childhood, honor students, in ROTC received National Awards, my kids didn't suffer one bit
