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 advantages people with kids speak of….?

All I hear is ‘can’t get the right school’, ‘crippling expenses’ etc.

Confused of West London

…. has anyone seen idiocracy?

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.

Bloody frustrating creatures, but I mostly love them.

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!)

#3 – 36 – he’s now 15, GCSEs this year, studying dirt jumping and D/H!!

Love ’em all.

1st at 31, 2nd at 34.

exactly how i would have planned it, if i’d planned it.

I will be 30 by the time my 1st makes an appearance in August 🙂

Your all old enough be to be my parents 🙄

31 in fact it was only this morning, bit spaced, one doing fine and the other in neo natal as has blood sugar and temp were a bit low.

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.

and 33 when Mia popped out. Being a protective father over my daughter I am having words with Iggle Piggle to back off! She will be 1 in April.

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

MM

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!

33 when my 8 month old arrived.

wow, poor mrs clubber 😯
