    Is there a right or wrong age when someone should have children?
    My question is to know a confusion given by many people to me.

    The right age is is the same age you get married.

    I disagree.

    In some parts of the world children as young as 13 are allowed marry,that does not mean their ready to have children.

    Biology would tell us somewhere between 20 and 40 for a women,those ages change with each passing decade.

    The right time to have a child is when you are physically,mentally,emotionally and financially secure.

    Ideally in a good relationship where the parenting is shared and a child can have the benefit of loving parents.

    I think if you get married at 13, then you should be able to have children. The fact is, I don't think anyone should have children before 21.

    Children having children is never a good idea. How they financially support the child?

    Is there a wrong age? YES.

    If you are still living with your parents and if you DO NOT work and or cannot support yourself, then yes you are at the wrong age (or time) to have a child.

    I am a student online and am able to support myself but I still live with my grandmother but time to time I stay at my moms house and on the weekends I stay at my boyfriends house till he has to go to work on Monday but when he works we stay at my house through out the week. But during the week I'm really not home as I use too.

    So would this still be a wrong time to bring a child?

    Children need stability and routine,although the routine you have suits you as an adult with no one who needs your attention 24/7.

    Its not really ideal for a child.

    Yes, it would be the wrong time. There's a lack of stability and independence. You can't cart a baby around like that.

    Yes and no.

    Yes because you don't have a stable home. Children do need stability.

    No because well he/she is already here you can't do anything about it now (assuming you already have a child) and well you are supporting yourself which is good thing because most people that do stay at home have their parents pay for everything (child's clothes, child's medical bills, child's formula, child's diapers... etc).

    Yes.

    You don't say how old you, but female bodies have to develop fully to be able to have a child. You could damage your health by having one too early.

    And you should be married and the two of you living on your own with sufficient income before you decide to have a child.

    I feel that the right age to have a child is when you are most importantly; mentally, physically and emotionally prepared, also financially stable and able to support your child with the love and attention it needs from loving parents, or parent as the case may be. As soon as that baby is brought into the world you are the one who needs to love, support, guide and nurture this little person until your last breath.
