I know "best time" is very broad but I wrote it that way on purpose. I want to have children but have no idea when to do it. Im not even married. I've heard all sorts of advice on when to have children but I dont believe any of them. I believe the best time to have children depends on many many factors, the most important being
1. Your desire to have children/child
2. Your capacity to provide for the children/child
3. Your life stage/stability
Depending on the person, and even if these 3 requirements are met there are many more things that influence what the "best time" is.
If we're talking about planning ahead, the best time to have kids is when you're ready emotionally, mentally, and financially. There is no age factor for this. My husband and I were ready in all three areas at 22. A lot of people are not ready that young and hold off. Some people like to really go forward with their careers before kids and thats ok. Some people like to have kids young and know that they will have time to do things at a younger age as their children graduate and thats ok too. It takes all kinds and not one way is right or wrong.
I do think the best option is to have a partner who is in tune and can help share the work of being a parent. It's extremely hard to be the role of both mom and dad. People do it all the time for many reasons, but if we're talking perfect planning, it helps a lot to have a partner and friend.
Q:What is the best time to have children?
A: Around 10am.
So your husband does not have to get up too early and you can be home in time to watch the TV sport that evening. If possible have the children on a Monday as there is less TV sport on Mondays.
1. When you've finished your education.
2. When you can support them.
3. When you've found the right partner to help you raise them over the next 20 years.
4. When you've decided you want them and can give unselfishly, have the patience.
