If you got em of course. And would you have done it earlier or later? Just, err, out of interest.
I was 13...
no wonder the username
38 with #1
40 when #2 turns up
Not looking forward to the first 6 months TBH.
Ok, ok, I was 28, my eldest is now 16, and my youngest is 11. Took me ages to get my figure back tho.
28
28
lol, are there "discussions" in the jimmy household??
eurhg I'm turning 30 and still don't want them!!! Oh well guess I have another 8 years before I need to start worrying! I think I'm just too selfish love my holidays and freedom!! if I could pick them up from around 6 years old I'd give it a go 😉
25 & 30
i dont know about when is best but i do look back at my prechild self and think that i was a cock.
37 with #1
39 with #2
#3 ain't happening no matter how much she pesters me.
27 for the first...then another 3 years later. Probably would have benefited from being a bit older...actually probably would have been better not to have been 5 weeks after moving to rural France, coming in to Winter and with no habitable house.
Initially I didn't want them either because of the loss of freedom etc...
But there is a plus side.

47 and still no kids. Only a few years to go and we will be safe
39 for number one and number two will be 41 (hopefully close to the due date this time)
my one at that stage of the day harry is more often than shouting"no not you mummy"
Andy- he is soo cute.
tell you wat though jimmy i reckon i ride my bike more because when the chance is there i allways go.the time waster in you just vanishes over night.
25 - gained a premade 18 month old - followed by
27
29
32
and still find an occasional hour to go biking...
34 and she'll be 5 months on Wednesday. One of my riding mates has a little un of 2 years. He's 62! It wasn't planned.
26 and don't regret it one bit 🙂
Still freaks me out that people younger than me have had kids. I still see myself as one. Even with a balding pate, beard and encroaching gut.
27 and 31 - wouldn't have had them at any other age 😀
34 and gutted. Would have probably had one now by now if it wasn't for the bi-polar incident which ended with the wife moving Australia. Alone.
Might never happen now and that makes me 🙁
40 when my first one came and I would like some more!
Looking @ mates who had them early doors I,m glad I did everything I wanted to do when I was younger and now give the majority of my time to my little un

Rich
away with yer you can get a new mrs younger than you can you not?
my mrs was 36 when she met me.
flat bars with baggys rich?
I was 26 when my daughter was born and although initially the realities of fatherhood were a shock I love her to bits and she has grown into a proper little character of her own.

In her favorite city.

And on her bike, of course.
30 and 51 weeks.
28 and 30 - if anything would have had them earlier - did lots when I was younger but also relish of doing stuff with them as they grow.
32, 35, 37, Snip! Timing worked out quite neatly, I got made redundant couple of months before number one arrived and turned part time freelancer.
43 + 45.
Pluses and minuses- minuses being that for the first couple of years it probably takes more out of you than it does if you're twenty years younger. I think just about everything else is a plus.
Of course, that's just imho.
19 dont regret it though
28 and 30, I don't think I could cope any nearer to 40.
[i]flat bars with baggys rich?[/i]
Took her down London town and she wants to be like them fixie boyz/girlz!
away with yer you can get a new mrs younger than you can you not?
my mrs was 36 when she met me.
It's not the age, it's the wife. Still love her and would have loved to have had a couple of kids with her.
Making me feel a bit better about my slight concern at being almost 42 when our first two (twins) turn up in June.
I bally-well can't wait.
🙂
36 and 39. Neither planned. I love them, but no more now thanks.

25 and 30. and gonna be a grandad at 43
32, 36, 37.
It has suited me just fine; thoroughly love being a dad.
27 and 30, wouldnt change it
27 and 30 - they're now 20 and 17 and yes, 2 teenage daughters will give you grey hair but certainly I have no regrets - 🙂
30 for me, about right I would say, certainly matured me.
Seeing as it's turning into a 'my kid is cuter than yours' thread Here's my mini me.

"Ha Ha" points @ brakes and stabilizers ee is a wuss! 😉
30 and 33 for me. They are 12 and 9 now. Taken direct action to avoid number 3 😯
We had our first of three when we were 21, absolutely no regrets at all. They're all grown now and I'm still young and fit enough to give my son a run for his money on a cycle or motorbike and I'm old enough to give a convincing scowl to the girl's new boyfriends.
*counts on fingers*
My eldest is five, so must have been born in 2003, which would have made me 26 when she was born. My youngest was born two years later in 2005, when I was 28. I'll be 32 this year, and they'll be 6 and 4 on their birthdays.
Almost all the parents of our kids friends are roundabout ten years older than we are, which is great because it means that we get to take the piss out of them being old duffers.
It's an old picture, but here's my youngest on the top of a new trail at Hamsterley (fixed direct drive brakeless trike!):

32, had twins, ready made family. Job done
Awww @pics how cute.
Still wouldn't have any-dirty diapers!
Probably be 36 knowing me. Rather buy that Porsche on the classifieds!
32 and 35 here.
If I'd have met MrFC sooner then we would problably have had kids sooner!
But he made me wait 'til I was 29 before he appeared!! 😉
27, 28 and 30, since were on a post a pic of your kids as well...
cool n the gang 8)

29 - spot on I reckon. Met papadirt at 17, married at 20, spent 9 years practising . . . sorry, living a little and seeing the world, then spent the next 9+ years doing it all over again with 3 kids in tow - quality 😀
These [i]advantages[/i] people with kids speak of....?
All I hear is 'can't get the right school', 'crippling expenses' etc.
Confused of West London

I was 27 when Ollie was born. Talk of another one soon 🙂
talk? it takes more than talk...all mouth, no.......
matt - your middle one wins!
middle in pic or middle in age?
37 and 39, too old? No but with hind sight I'd have done it sooner.
I'm 27, the wife is 26. Not got kids and not having any, i'm quite happy being an uncle and giving the rug-rats back after an afternoon.
31 and 35.
I was trying to get out of it for as long as I could but, now they are here, I'd have done it sooner if anything...
40 and 42, kids now 1 and 3, ugh! I am glad I did a lot of things and travelling before this. But like some people have said here, having them late takes more out of you. IMO. Sleepless nights, two young'uns and both being self-employed means never a free moment and when spare time does come your way it is eagerly grabbed. Hard as it is I do love it though and the two boys are great fun. The elder is a keen rider already and this winter has been learning to ski, soon be ready for some real adventures!

25 and 31. Too soon and with the wrong people. I'm a better person for having had them, much less self centered. Bloody frustrating creatures, but I mostly love them.
[i]Bloody frustrating creatures, but I mostly love them.[/i]
Too true...kids are like fellas...nightmare to live with, but would be completely lost without them!!! 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉
NB...the abundance of 😉 !!!
34 and 37 - might have been earlier had life turned out differently, might have been later as halfway through a part-time degree, whilst working full time as well, did rather stuff the grades that had been on track for a First before Junior arrived.
No real regrets, but seeing our 70 year old parents already struggling to keep up with a 5 year old and a 2 year old is the only downside to having had them relatively later - I'd hate them to lose their grandparents too young
#1 - 30 - she's now 21,at Uni studying Zoology and Ecology.
#2 - 32 - she's now 19, at college studying Technical Theatre (or How to be a Roadie, er, man!)

Fantastic shot Akira. Best of luck to you all!
I was 28 when I had my first and 34 when the second arrived. I'm about to completely mess their lives up by walking out. The "joys" of a mid life crisis....
Good luck Akira!
@salad ... as in leave them in the lurch ?
Huge congratulations Akira - nice to see another member of the STW Twins Club 🙂 So - what buggy have you got?.....
23 (9yrs old) and 32 (6wks)
sleep deprivation is easier to deal with when you are younger.
it also costs less.
I was 31 when Sam was born. He turns 4 in March.

her legs will give Chris Hoy a run for his money 😉

33 when my 8 month old arrived. It was pretty much exactly when I wanted it to happen - I'd spent long enough doing all the things what I wanted to and had reached a point where I really wanted to start a family. Luckily that coincided with what Mrs Clubber wanted too 🙂

(he was only a couple of weeks old in that pic but already in his first cycling jersey 🙂 )
36 & 38 for me, I am certainly glad I didnt leave it any longer
24 with my first and 26 with the one thats due in 5 weeks.
I think this pic sums my daughter up!
