28 too young for kids?

I don't think I'd ever want a kid :P

Not for economical reasons and things like that, but... why do you want to lose your time, money and pacience with it? Just because having a baby is cute?...

(I particularly don't find it cute, I don't like to have to teach people and don't like to be atached to someone that you can possibly start to hate)

(also, if you go search about me you can find I've said I hate almost everyone, but don't judge my opinion from that, I have reasons to hate)

I don't want to get your dreams distroied or something, or getting somewhen regreted for not have had a kid earlier.

I think there are a lot of preconcepts about this subject. You know... everyone (almost) have a family, or had (the ones that haven't had kids did not passed the reasons why through generations). Everyone think of it as "the normal thing". And so it would be a normal stage of your life to have one too, "everyone" has.

(And so about heterosexuality (everyone comes from a father and a mother, that's what is normal))

But I encourage everyone to not think normal ^^
Get rid of these ideas, and think, in your "new world" if it is what you want to do.

If you don't feel prepared at that age (it's not that late, but oh well) maybe yo don't want it that much. Think really deeply about why it is, maybe it is not about your maturity.

I'm sorry for any mistake, this is not my first language.

And I'm a girl not wanting to have kids.

Who says that you are not old enough to have kids?

My mum was 24 she had my brother

The average/most popular age to have kids is 26. But as women start to become more independent and busy in the work force, the age of having children is increasing.

My tip don't be fucking a lot I mean a lot we did it for 5 min I have twins

I think that normal. My mother had me at 38 and that was her first and only pregnancy.

There's no right or wrong age. You just have to be mature and financially stable. You will still be fertile until you're 40-ish, so take ur time.

I totally agree! I think it's weird when people in their 20's have kids, I guess because I still feel like one even though I'm 25 and "real" adults to me are in their 30's or 40's.

Everybody is different and are ready for things at different times. I say it's very normal. I had my first child when I was 23 and I felt too young then. I'm 29 now and pregnant with my second child and I still have worries. I think, no matter what age you are, having children is always going to be a big deal. No one can decide when you are ready but you!

Better to wait instead of ending up with a kid when you're NOT prepared...! My friends have had children when 17/18 and not graduated high school. Props for waiting :)

i wasn't ready, but then it just happened. i don't think you will feel 'ready'. it's life changing-- no matter how much you prepare!

This is totally normal. It sure pays to be ready: Financially, emotionally,and relationship-wise. Children are a gift, but they are a lot of hard work.Well worth it though as long as you are prepared. Good luck

Its normal, but To be honest noone is mature enough for kids until you have them. You can never be ready for something like that until you have to be. If you dont want to you dont have to obv but you will miss out i guess.

By the way i dont have a child so i guess i dont reli know but..:)

Yes, you're fine. You can have children later in life or not at all and that is okay as well. However though, if you have a child after 29 and are a girl, the risk for a child with birth defects will increase but either way, you are fine.

you arnt too old, some people are ready to set down in early 20's, so congratz

Thanks, everyone!

You don't say why you feel that way but I think you are normal - you will know when you are ready in terms of relationship, finances, career, housing, and of course feeling emotionally ready for a big step in life.

Youre probably just nervous at tge thought of kids. Youre not too young, just remember- Only have a baby with the person you love.

It is very normal. For you to be that age without any is very good because children are very hard to maintain. They do bring lots of joy to your life tho children are a blessing from God and he will send them to you when you are ready..

Normal. :)

People have children at all ages; there is, speaking generally,no right or wrong age at which to have them, assuming that the situation they are born into is prepared for their arrival.

Are you being pressured to have kids but you don't feel ready?

Having kids is probably the most important step in anyone's life and you are perfectly normal (in fact, very sensible) in spending time to question whether or not this is the right time for you.

I'm sure you will know when the right time comes along.

yahhh ya dont need akid ever!

Do you have a guy? If you do, than you guys should decide. And no, 28 is not too old. But if you wait too long, no one will want to bang you anymore. I mean, no guy wants to do a 35 year old.
