Too old to have kids?

[Nebulous]

How old is too old for having kids in your opinion?

If you are a woman, would you ever consider getting pregnant & raising a child above the age of (lets say) 45?

I think 40 is the cutoff, personally. My mother was in her 40s when she had my sister and I, and she was a fantastic mother, but she was out of her depth when we were teens, lol.

I can't have kids, but even if I could, I'd want it to be within the next couple of years or never, at this stage.

I dont know. It should be something where you're not going to croak before the kid gets into middle or high school.

I agree with the above, I think 40 is the mark.

A lot of grandparents are stuck raising their children's children (its more common than you think) so whats the difference really. I'd say if you have at least 18 years of life left in you, then go ahead and raise a child.

I know many that leave their kids with their grandparents or other family members as daycare is super expensive now.
The cost of living is not going to get any better.

I think you should have kids when it is right for you. Nothing in life is sure.

I think women who reach their 40s are not suitable to have kids. Just imagine how old they are if their kids reach the adulthood stage.

I won't want to have kids anymore after I turn 30. That's because I really want to have the necessary strength required to raise them kids well till they get to adulthood.

40 would be the age for me. I've always planned to have kids in the 30-40 range. At least a couple. I'm 28, so I guess I'm creeping up on that time period of my life.
