Would you have your first child at 45?

[feelosofer]

My uncle had his youngest son at 49 he's as active as any other dad out there. Then again most men in my family live to be in their late 80s and still be fairly healthy.

One of my Uncle's and Aunt's who are now in their 50s already had three adult children one currently plays for the New York Liberty in the WNBA , had their last child in their' mid 40's. The kid is now I think about 11 or 12 years old.

Being a man, that wouldn't too much be a problem for me, provided I could stay healthy enough to engage in most activities they'd have through their formative years and around to be a guiding force as they come into young adulthood. If I can provide a solid 30 or so years for 'em, I'd be grateful.

More like my last child, if I want to have a kid latest age i have my first kid is like 35~

I have older father, don't get along on anything with that age gap, can't relate much either

I turn 36 next Thursday at this point doubt I want marriage let alone a kid but never know.

38 is the latest i will go for a first child.

But ill likely have one much sooner

No like @shutterguy said kids are a huge responsibility at our age

Having a baby now is a no no and having to deal with a woman I’m not married or even married to at 45 will kill me by 55

I only have one(4) and im 33 but I give a 2 year window to give my wife another. My uncle has 4 kids now and he started in his 40s but his 1st wife was unable to reproduce.

26 and feel like i need to start planning starting a family but having money to live it up and travel is too dam intoxicating. Will be hard to give it up

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Hell nah I’m good. I had my kids early and was done by 27. I couldn’t imagine being in my mid 40s chasing some two year old around the house

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

My pops had his first kid at 44.

I'll probably be 45 before we recover from the Trump era so

 

[Lord_nikon]

Too late.

You're supposed to have your first young: 20's till mid 30's.

With all the health risks associated with having kids too late.

shyt didn't work for me like that career wise to have kids 20 and early 30, i'm sure I would have been stressed, broke and

i'm okay now tho for the most part gotta find a nice 28 year old to be a stay at home mom

45 for a man is not terrible. It is what it is. You choices are don’t have kids or have them at the age you’re at.

I think more important try to be as in best space as possible for your kid.
