L1977C: you have your kids young and have completely dif opinions Its the physical side of running around after them all the time that would put me off
True but he was already an old man by the time i was 10. He was a lot older than my mother. I think if i dont have any by the time im 40 it will be to late.

Theres plenty of people having kids later on in life but have to say at the school its a guesing game whether its the grandparents or parents
L1977C: Last yr Id have thought about having another child but this yr Ive decided Im done having kids dont want to be hittin 50 and bringing up teenagers
I agree with you, starting to have kids at a late age ain't good idea.

I cant imagine ever starting all over...military planning just to go shopping or down the town..
hell no...my 2 best mates have 1 yr olds...
and i just see how tough it is...couldnt do it again..and i like my life the way it is...being able to go out cinema,bowling etc with him..and to be honest i thought to have another child when he was this age would take away from his quality of life..thats just the way i feel..nobody shoot me..

I don't think it'll be too late if you don't have any by the time you're 40. The reason you and your dad were so different was maybe because he was raised in a different culture from you, a different Ireland. My dad was 40 when I was born and was very different from me, not because of the age gap itself but because he was raised in a different type of society. That wouldn't happen so much any more as Ireland has changed for everyone.

Well I'm 46 and looking for a healthy young wan (early twenties) to have my babies! Any takers? Form an orderly queue please!
I have 4 adult kids and 5 grandkids !!
I love them all very much but I am still not taking the barbed wire down from around the house. If I was to get back all the money I LOANED them over the years I would be loaded now !

MOSTY: HI FOLKS, IF YOU ARE 30 YEARS AND OVER AND STILL LOOKING FOR THE FIRST CHILD, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
they say the ideal time to have children is mid-late 20's most are likely to have finished education and some finances in order etc but truthfully when the time fits if that makes sense. I have little or no interest in having children though I love them dearly (well my nieces and nephews) but I literally do not have any maternal instinct at all
that may change who knows but I'm not driven by it who knows I'll never say never! As someone once said to me ''you'll hate everyone else kids but love your own'' MOSTY: HI FOLKS, IF YOU ARE 30 YEARS AND OVER AND STILL LOOKING FOR THE FIRST CHILD, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?
Whose child are you looking for
