Would you have your first child at 45?

[duncanthetall]

Just curious. Jokingly talking about having kids with a female friend of mine. Now I know if I followed that plan with a woman at my age at that time, lil nikka would likely come out half baked. A woman’s eggs don’t last that long and stay good. And I’m damn sure not tryna spend my golden years spoon feeding a grown ass nikka till he croaks at 19, so that’s out of the question. I’m thinking around 40 I meet a 30 year old and that’s that.

I might have to

I’ve seen how sad it looks with these old ass parents and young ass kids. Can barely play with them, looking like their grandparents at the playground.

If I don’t have any children by my late 30s then it’s a wrap for me. I’m Not trying to attend my children’s graduation on a walking stick.

 

[mr.africa]

yes
i was told by older people that having children around at an older age keeps you young
might be some truth to this

 

[RadaMillz]

Yeah why not, my dad had me around that age.

 

[shutterguy]

Hell no, I'll be 44 on Monday, ain't no way I would consider bringing children in the world at my age. I live an independent lifestyle, my own place, and only have to take care of my immediate family, kids are huge responsibility.

Want to have children before im 40, im 34

I had my first one at 37 but I had a co-worker that had his first ones at 52 and they were twins

45 is too old imo. My fondest memories are with my dad who was very active, doing things. Taught me how to swim, coached me through football all the way to college. Tennis, hiking, boxing, fishing... just getting up every morning and running together then working out together etc. Remembering what it felt like beating your dad at basketball after years of losing. Him being mad but proud. And now him being older, we can sit down and laugh about so much. Times when he was fukking me up and then when I started busting his ass.

You rob your kid of having those memories when you’re too old to do anything. He’s gonna have memories of a grandfather, not a father. You rob yourself of that experience as well. You need to be able to be active at least until he’s of age and on his own.

 

[Freedman]

Its how I want to do it. I could build up more wealth before my children are born and then Imma be checking out the game as they are coming into adulthood and can leave them what I worked for

 

[The ADD]

Hell knawl they cost to much

[InGodWeTrust]

Idk. I'm 30+ and it crosses my mind now that I'm single.

Been talking to a lot of 24-28 year olds that could be potentials but I got a kid already so it's not necessary but I want some more

 

[old pig]

idk...I’m at that age now and I don’t want to be 60 y/o (assuming I’m even around at that age) dealing with a 14-15 y/o and their problems...and forget about 16...15-16 seem to be maximum peak fukkery years for teens...teaching high school gave me several reservations about having a child...I honestly don’t think I will have one at this point but will not say never...if I do tho it’d be with a chic way younger than me with a big nuclear family so that if god forbid anything happen to me I know the child will have “young” grandparents as well as aunts/uncles who she can lean on for support and is not stuck raising the child completely on her own

Yikes. 52 is crazy. Kids are a lot, a lot, a lot of work. And when they're a newborn you're not getting much sleep a while...good luck to that dude. My wife already told me we're not have another one....While I do want another one, I don't blame her. shyt really fukks with a woman's body.
