How old were you when you had your first kid?

I was 21 and at uni

Me too.
Then I had my second at 26, third at 33 😀

25,26,35 im 48 now and the youngest is 12

30 and 32, son was 2 days after my birthday!

Midlifecrashes in 3 years the oldest will comfortably outpace you uphill, you may be able to descend quicker and outrun him/her on the flat though.

34 for me, Mrs LJ was 31. We are both still that age as it was only 12 weeks ago. I can’t imagine doing all this ten years ago TBH. Actually, I can’t imagine doing all this with the person I was with ten years ago!

31 for my first. She’s 6 now.

Numbers 2+3 due in October. Yep. Twins.

Help!

31, she’s 2 now, and absolutely loves riding her bike down to the park whilst I run behind to keep up, and going in the bike trailer, so I’m enjoying pretty much daily bike rides at the moment.

mrcarlos and me were both 34 when our first son was born and 41 when our second arrived last year , we had intended having them closer together but mother nature stepped in a couple of times and put a stop to proceedings.

33 when my son was born, 35 when my daughter was born.
My best work 😆

31 first born 32 second then 40 with third.

I was 21 when our first arrived and the mrs 18, our second 2 years later.

Nearly 27 years later we are enjoying the grand kids while we have some life left in us.

Looking back we think we did it right.

Its funny how the people who had kids young and are now 40 feel old, and the ones just having kids at 40 feel young (if not a bit tired) 😉

45 when crankbrat emerged he is now 10 months and I’m 46 . My wife is 37 now .

Simonm has it right . I know crankbrat has come later in my life than is normal but I feel ready to relax and enjoy time with him.

I was 30 and my twins are now 18 months old. A boy and a girl.

Think I’m done

had my first at 26 bit of a surprise then gained a stepson at 30 and just had my youngest at 38 iam 40 now and he’s 2 and he make me feel really really young.

Having kids ranging in age from 2 to 21 I feel qualified to say it’s not always that way Simon. I feel my age, always have.

twins when i was 20 😯

34 when the fist one arrived, and 37 when the second one turned up…
(I’m 39 now – wife is 2.5 years younger)
We both wish we’d had them a bit earlier – not a lot, maybe 3-5 years.

Won’t be having anymore due to ‘complications’ with the birth of our second daughter.

30 for Offspring 1 (female) – currently located in Kalahari Desert with those f***ing meerkats (no, they don’t speak, let alone with a russian accent).
32 for Offspring 2 (female) – currently located at home (still) despite being in a well paid retail management job.
35 for Offspring 3 (male) – currently located at Uni,180 miles away, learning how to colour in (Graphic design). About to relocate home – bye, bye fridge and pantry contents!

First when I was 32 (boy)
Second when I was 34 (girl)

38 now and my wife is four years older…

We had our first (possibly only one) 9.5 weeks ago, I was 34 and the missus 29.

We’d been trying for a good 18 months before hand though.

He’s awesum btw

40…last on was when I was 48 🙂

I’m now 63 and was out riding with my 18 yr old son and his mates on trails yesterday……so its not all bad!

….although they did leave me for dead on climbs

29 & 33, 2nd is now coming up to 5 months. Mrs same age. No more planned for us

34 + 36, but we had been trying for quite a few years.

We both wish we’d had them a bit earlier – not a lot, maybe 3-5 years.

Same her, but maybe 7-10 years earlier.

Its not so much feeling old now – more of feeling its too old to start a family in your 40 `s 😕
It was financially difficult having our two so young for a good few years.
But now both kids are at uni and I feel practically in my prime and can make the most of all my free time.
I certainly do not envy people having kids in their 40 `s ..

I was 35 almost 36 when our twin boys arrived. Mrs RR was 30. Disscussion about going again are on going :-)They will be 3 on Saturday!

32 for the first and 34 for the last
