What age do you consider too young to get married/have a baby?

Question

I’ve been seeing a lot of young ladies (aged 17-23) posting about trying to conceive and getting married. 
I know that in the US it seems to be the norm to get married and have babies young, but the thought of it just makes me cringe for them. 
To me it just seems like they’re playing house. 
Sorry if this offends anyone. We’re all entitled to an opinion.

Answer

Personally, I think anything under 25 is too young for any of this, mature or not. 
There’s a lot of fun, young living to be done in your early 20’s before having children. 
I’m going to be 29 in a few weeks and mine and my husbands first baby is due in July. We’re just about to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. We bought our house when I was 25 and thought even that was a HUGE responsibility. 
I’m so grateful to have been able to enjoy my 20’s as a young adult, and am now looking forward to the next chapter of my life and the changes to come. 
But yes, to each their own.

Answer

I’m confused as to why people think you can’t enjoy your “20’s” being married and having kids?! Lol 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

Now I’m almost 30, I think 25+ is ideal time.

Answer

I'm 19 and my fiance is 22 we own our own home have amazing jobs which we love have our own cars we are doing amazing and have done it all on our own and we have been together since I was 15 about 7 months ago we decided we were ready to start a family and no we are not playing house we both struggled together to get where we are now and worked as a team for everything we own sometimes people mature faster than other....i think as long as they are both responsible adults and have a stable environment why not start a family?

Answer

22 and I’ve been trying for a baby since I was 19. Perfectly stable. Perfectly happy. Perfectly ready. Maturity and age are two different things.

Answer

23 too young? Lol. Oh my. I planned my first at 20 and he was born at 21. I was financially stable and myself and the father had our own place. I’m now 23 and my 2nd will be born a month before I turn 24. If you’re ready and financially stable age doesn’t matter. But I think under 18 if you’re asking an opinion.

Answer

you think 23 is young to have a baby? I got married and pregnant at 22 I thought I was behind.

Answer

I do not think age has anything to do with it. There are plenty of moms those ages doing a lot better than women older than them. I got married at 21 had my son at 22 and now pregnant with my daughter at 26. I also just completed my masters degree and own my own home. The only thing that makes a difference is the maturity level and  ability to take care of responsibilities such as having a husband and being a mother.

Answer

Got married at 27 and got pregnant with my angel baby at 21 and had my son at 22. It was perfect for me. To each their own :)

Answer

My husband and I are both 21 and will be married for a year in a couple weeks. We are currently TTC. Do I think we are too young? No. We have a home, jobs, and are mentally ready for a baby. We don’t feel as if we aren’t “living out our 20’s” because this is how we want our early 20’s to go. Also, my family has a history of ovarian cysts causing hysterectomies as early as 28 so I personally don’t want to wait until it may be too late. Now, does some of our family and other people think we are too young? Yes but thankfully this isn’t their marriage! 😘
