Younger, because most likely to be healthier and can have more common interests. Also probably have better knowledge of modern society (i.e. electronic devices like phones, how things like getting a job is dealt, what schools are like),
Ryan Blanche and if you're not overwhelmed And not struggling then that's not parenting or you have a great child. Parenting is not a walk in the park.
my father is 84 and I'm 21, we're very close and my parents are both very loving and treat me well, but they didn't coddle me growing up, my father is very wise when it comes to things like banking, credit cards, taxes, housing and buying cars and has passed his knowledge down to me and taught me how to save money early on. Obviously the downside is that I'm gonna lose him, sooner rather than later.
No offense (its just a question) but how old is your mother? Because it'd be Nearly impossible to give birth in your early 50's as women are going through or already had menopause.
Very true, my parents are older and I want my kids to know them so I'm going to try to have kids before 35. It's just a goal but it's something I kinda can't help but think about.
I am 20 and my mom is 51 and my dad is 70. I love them to death but the generation gap sucks sometimes. Ps: English is my second language , feel free to correct any errors.
I’m 16 and most of my friends parents are in their 30s and 40s but not my parents are about to be 60. I still love them more than anything in the world though.
Kayla4217 well they are my half siblings. When she had my brother and sister, she was a clueless young mom. I was the late in life miracle baby. But there are some advantages, like being able to relate more with my nieces and nephews, and not having pressure to give my parents grandchildren.
I'm a teen. who has old parents They know nothing about technology They don't really party that much They're developing illnesses that come with age e.g arthritis Get tired of walking/doing sport after 10 mins. All my grand parents were gone when I was 8
He is trying to put out that younger parents are better in his opinion as he is clearly listing all the downsides of older parents and lacks the downsides of younger parents so he clearly has a bias that younger parents are better as the OP has older parents, ask someone that has younger parents and their outlook will be different
Sheena1234ization yet, I can attest to that bc my mother is old but she likes to go to parties (her extroversion-) and she knows technology to a certain extent but I relate to everything else on your list but I never met my grandparents, I only met one of them until she passed when I was 5 :')
I relate to this so much. I would love to ask my parents to do certain stuff with me without there health or age to get in the way. It would be nice to have had my grandparents at my graduations and important events but sadly they passed away from old age. But I’m also glad that my parents are older because they learned from past mistakes. Still sucks that my main fear though, is my parents probably dying when I’m 30.
Daimaō ermmmmm, that only depends if they don't ruin their health by other substances like smoking, excessively drinking etc. Because my mother smokes and drinks (appropriately)
Not nessesarily. I want kids and I am 31. I studied for 10 years and have 3 degrees and literally just got my first job this year. Even if I wanted kids, theres no way I am financially secure enough to have one...
Well I guess I’m ahead of my time. I’m 26 and had a baby. No college debt or degree. just a music channel. I own my own home and pay all the bills. And I got married at 21. Everything was planned for me since I came from a broken family. I love my baby and have always been more mature for my age. Make the right devotions no matter your age and you’ll see.
My dad did kind of have similar kind of growing . My dad was broken family . He ending up own a house and renting the house so he could his pay his loan . He ended up get PHd in chemistry. My mother who came from wealthy and did take job but quit even though she may want to get back in the working field . Honestly, I don’t trust my brother driving skills if he does have driver’s license.
I had my oldest when I was 21. Now that he's 21 I cannot imagine having a baby now to raise (at age 42). I just don't have the patience I did when I was younger. I'm happy traveling the world now and having time to myself and my hobbies. My ex husband had an older mother and didn't have grandparents and his mom was always the oldest mom at school functions. To each his own, but in my experience younger is better
Unless you’re wealthy or have a large support network, I would highly recommend waiting until you have had enough time to save money and have fun. Once you have a kid, it’s a complete commitment without any breaks. My life-partner and I plan to start having kids in our mid 30s. Still young enough to keep up, but mature enough to guide our offspring.
The Infographics Show you can certainly plan your life to a certain degree but life/God will also guide you from behind to where you're meant to be and sometimes, that can clash with your plans but I guess you just have to flow with it bc that's life as we say :)
The Infographics Show I think that depends on individual situations/knowledge. If all things are equal/healthy/normal, then there is enough knowledge and tools to precisely plan your reproductive life. 💭 condoms, oral sex/other methods, medicinal birth control, surgical birth control, abortion, adoption. So yes, you can enjoy life/sex and plan your family. Yay science 🧬.
쀵쀵귀염이 I would say, you have to work with what you got, but “nobody exists on purpose, no one belongs anywhere, everyone is going to die...” so just make it fun for you and as many others as possible. No one ☝️ is coming to save the day or to give you a task/purpose. We all get to decide our own purpose.
I was born to teen parents. My first 5 years of life My mom stayed with a man who abused me and her. Always grew up struggling to have food and a stable home. My dad was not in my life for the first 18 years of life. Mom turned to clubbing and a reckless lifestyle after I had become 11 leaving me to essentially raise my brother and sister in the 15-17 hours a day she was gone. I know that others had it worse in life but I grew up in a situation where I don’t think anyone of my elders were mature enough to have had a kid and thus I plan to wait until my late twenties and early thirties.
Kyle C- That was a similar story with my ex-step-nephew ( now 2 this year) and his parents. They were dating (now engaged since mid-late last year) few months and they went out clubbing with my ex-stepmother and my cousin while my and I went back home. My ex-step-brother got his girlfriend pregnant (they we're in thier early 20's and now they are early-mid 20's). Don't worry, they're all one happy family.
As someone who was a single teen mom, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I grew up really fast after having my eldest. Sadly not everyone does and its the kids who have to suffer for it.
I was born to older parents. They divorced and my dad turned to drugs and stepped out of the picture and my mom spent all the child support on the bar and her various boyfriends that physically and sexually assaulted me until I moved out. From 10-17 I was home alone all day and night sometimes for several days even weeks at a time with no food and sometimes utilities were off. If my mom was home chances are her boyfriends were too and I was being abused and nothing was ever done. I am a young parent. I am 23 and have 3 kids. Husband and I have been married 6 years and have a nice home in an upscale area. Our utilities have never been shut off, I get to stay at home with our kids, they have everything they could ever want, nicely decorated bedrooms, and 2 sober parents that love them and are in a happy marriage. Way better than what I had.
If you saw that as well as most of your friends probably not valuing you why in the world would you have a kid. I never understood people who see the harsh reality and still have kids. It’s selfish to have children.
I am so glad to hear you say that you feel grateful to have them. I lost my dad at age 9, and my mom at 18. I am 26 now and I hate not having parents around when most people my age do. makes me sad and feel left out. But they were sick. (Dad was 50 when he passed, and mom was 48 when she did.) SO happy you feel grateful. ♥
My mom had me at 20 and my sister at 21. She is a highschool droput, never went to college. But when we were born she decided to turn her life around and went back to school for a degree in Medical Billing and Coding and moved us to multiple neighbourhoods trying to find a safe place. My mom always says that we are the reason that she went back to school and worked hard also my father wasn't around so she had to take care of us alone. Me and my sister are both honor roll students inspired by my moms dedication to keeping us safe and happy, and for that i am proud of her. (Im currently 15 and my mom is 35)
@@illmeeillmee9373 I’m sorry but those are old ages. Yes you don’t have to be a teen to be a parent, you can be in your early to mid 20s and be young. If you’re a parent in your late 30s or older then ur an old parent
I'm 19 and my mom is 34 One of the advantages of having younger parents is the amount of time you get to spend with them on earth. I'm happy I'll be able to age next to my mom
It doesn't matter how young or old are they but what matters is that you have parents that care for you EDIT: TNX SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME THOSE LIKES HIGHLY APPRECIATED I DID NOT EXPECT THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH
no i'd say the best is having parents that you can actually respect as decent human beings . . . which if my mother is serious about her statement "Hitler should have done a better job" comment then i literally wouldn't even force myself to accept her as a human she's a monster who can only be cured by being put out of her misery
My dad is 47 and I’m 12. Most of my friends parents are in there 30s or 20s bc they were pregnant as teens. My mom gave birth to me when she was 32 and my dad was 36. My mom is 43 and my dad is 47. AND THEY CAN RUUUUN
Lol o remeber dealing with that and realized my friends parents were just young thots who had kids at 15 while mines had me at 32 then it didnt feel to bad.😭
I'm pretty late to watching this, but my mom had me at 40 years old, my dad 44. We get along so well, they're so loving, more experienced, financially stable, and literally I cant think of any negative effects from it except that I'm now 26 and they're almost 70 and I'm afraid to lose them. They did have children in their early 20s and my siblings don't get along as well with my parents and don't have the connection I share with them. Our relationship is great and has made me not want kids until I'm older like them too
I was raised up by my grandparents, and not to brag, but I ended up graduating Valedictorian, successfully got a full ride scholarship to get a bachelors degree, and now just got a Masters. When my grandparents were young it was rare for any of their own kids to go to college since many stopped at high school or dropped out. All their time and energy was spent raising me. And I'm glad they did:)
@@kencito3 No they don't. My grandmother had no grandfather (Aka, my great-grandfather) because he was killed in France during WWI when my great grandma was only 2 years old. and my mum had no grandfather because he was run over when my grandma was only 16 and she was dating my grandfather. Lucky for me, I had a grandfather until he died from s staff infection in 2013 (I was 10 back then) and he almost died from a heart attack at 60 when my oldest sister (who is now 20) was about 6 weeks old and my mum put her next to my grandfather and she told him to get better. He did for 15 years until he died. I still miss him.
@@loualbino5536 mental problems maybe,but genetic disorders its mostly from older parents sadly and trust me having kids with autoimmune issues is no joke
Im13 right now and my mum had me when she was 28 and my dad was 37 and my mum had my sister at 31 and my dad was 40 and then she had brother at 34 and my dad was 43. Right now my mother is 41 and my dad is 50 and sister is 9 nearly 10 and my brother is 7
My parents were in their 40s when they had me and I wouldn’t want them to be any other age. I love them unconditionally and I think I turned out pretty good lol.
My parents were older. So old, when they came to my school kids used to think they were my grandparents. I used to be so embarrassed, but now that I’m older I’m so grateful for the wisdom and knowledge they passed on to me.
Im 22 and not planning on having kids until my 30s. This makes me happy that there is no rush like my best friends think. As a woman you need to mentally and physically prepare for a child that depression after giving birth is no joke my cousin lost his mother to it❤
The left side of the thumbnail made me kinda of sad because one of the only pictures I have of my father is me being on his shoulders at a parade when I was 2 years old and he had a beard. My father died when I was 2 years old and he was 32. Rest In Peace dad. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you.
My parents had me at 33 which I always felt was a good spot. Both my parents were financially capable of taking care of me (money was never a problem, still wasn't rich though) and had the energy to chase me around the house for a while. Only downside was that during my birth there was a complication which made my mom unable to have anymore kids...like she was planning to.
I had my first child at 23, now a grandfather at 48. Unfortunately if you have two generations of late bloomers so to speak, It is very possible to be a first time grand parent in your 70's.
My wife is 40 in February and I have just turned 26 and we are trying for a baby. Our age gap means that our child will have the experience of my wife with the youth of myself to keep up with them and we believe that this is the ideal scenario for raising a child. Plus as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy much of the risks spoken of in this video can be avoided.
Agreed. Either don't have kids or get an existing rescue. If everyone did that for just a few generations, overpopulation would be solved. hehehe 😏 ψ(｀∇´)ψ
Had my son at 32 and my gf was 29. I am glad I waited to my 30s to have a kid. My sister had her kids when she was 22. I could never imagine having a kid young. Takes a lot of responsibility and definately is a life changer.
I’m inclined to think genetics play a bigger role than age because I’m autistic and I see a lot of my own autistic traits in my dad. Age could play a role, but if there’s a genetic predisposition, age means nothing. My cousin’s son is also autistic and his mom birthed him in her teen years.
Having young parents sucks most of the time. Most of them are irresponsible, immature, financially unstable, they don’t know much about themselves and their relationship with their partner is most of the time unstable, too. My mother had me when she was 19, she had no job not enough education no financial stability they ended up divorcing when they were still in their twenties you can imagine .. and who suffers the most in this case? The kid..
My parents don't have that much money,not energy at all and they're boring af . My cousin has young parents and they're rich ,have energy and are the best
@@ligarrinzani6710 Not at all. Parenting requires a huge time sink that not everyone has. The world is also overpopulated. Not having kids is completely acceptable in this day and age.
@@Naedeslus The world is not a zero sum game. Having 1 or 2 kid will not effect much as it is needed to replaced the parent. Most of growing population is because of higher life expectancy. But if you don't want kids, then ok.
I was married young and had my son at 22. He's a great guy and an engineer. I'm very proud of him and we are both avid cyclists. My brother and his wife had their first child when my brother was 51, 3 years later they had a second. I am happy with my choice to have children younger.
My parents choose both. Had kids in their (2 kids) 20's and (2 more) & 40's. We all turned out alright and helped raised the babies when we where teens. Taught us we don't like cleaning 10 diapers a day, vomit, and screaming. We are almost 30 now and refuse to make the parents grand kids since the babies we just raised are almost done with Highschool. I don't want to do that all over again 😓
My mom had my sister at 15, me at 19 and my brother at 21. I don’t know my dad. She was reckless and unprepared. We struggled everyday. I got pregnant at 19, and had my son at 20. I had my daughter at 23. We were broke, too. Like reeeaaaallll broke. I’m now 27. We aren’t broke anymore. I love where I live. Kindergarten went extremely smooth this past year. We’re happy. ❤️
It's entertaining to watch as someone who was raised by a young mother and an old father. Differences in parenting styles get even more complicated when parents are from different countries too.
I'm 23. Mom is 59 and Dad is 71. As a son of old parents I can say there are advantages and disadvantages. If I put in balance I would say it's being more beneficial. I always had access to a comfy life when it comes for food, school and a lot of things, what I liked it's my parents are beyond experienced in life and they have never been doubtful or transmit insecurity, they have always given that sense of confidence and reliability so I've always felt protected and feel that I can trust, also you grow between interesting topics, they have always incentivated us to read and solve our own problems. In the other hand they try to raise you in an old fashioned, sometimes narrow minded ways that just don't function nowadays, but I didn't feel this because my mom has always been in touch with the modern education and problems so she is always adapting and evolving. For me the conclusion is that you need 2 basic conditions for having children. The first one is to have the resources to maintain them, it sounds shallow but it's reality, I've seen friends struggling to get money and that's sad. The second is you need to feel prepared to give up a lot of aspects in your life for assuming the challenge of having babies, you need to transmit security and have no doubts because there's no turning back and that will eventually affect your children.
I grew up with rather old parents (50s), and for activity, I almost never got to play sports with them. They would never really connect with me and modern technology. Whenever I wanted to see a movie that wasn’t “like the old days” I was told I’d have to watch it on my own. However, I’d say my parents were very smart, and this helped me with academics and I to this day I keep straight A’s. I’d personally say that having older parents is better mostly because I feel I did connect with them, just not as much as younger parents.
@@sethleger6105 From a young age I had to realize that I'd probs be the first in my class to lose my parents (assuming no one dies from something like a car crash). I love my parents, however I think when I'm 40, I will be ready for the reality of life. I've lost many family members and friends recently so it's not like this will be the first major death.
I have older parents but they're young at heart. My mom loves going to the movies with me, we saw Black Panther and central intelligence together. My dad is a bit younger than my mom but still he goes out more than I do. All summer long he was partying.
In this day and age “just love” is simply too vague and impractical. Can you actually afford to have a child, financially? Id say having a kid after you reach 30 and atleast have some decent nest egg and financial cushion, you might be able to pull it off. Teen pregnancy or having a kid in your early 20s is a absolute no, in my opinion. You’ll never be rich enough to afford retirement if that ever happens.
@@vikkran401 have a roof over the head, food at table, can afford clothes, toys and essential needs" Where I live in Egypt providing these is a MASSIVE wall to jump, and I'm a surgon (granted I just graduated) but it will take me at least 5-7 years of saving to provide those for my future kid. But yeah I don't get it when it comes from people living in countries where they cover every necessity even if you're broke!
@@vikkran401 but you need to take care the children emotionally and mentally too, only keeping them alive without giving them principles how to live is going to be a problem
I’m 20.5 and my dad had me at 47, he was abusive and very strict. I still talk to him but he isn’t an easy person to talk to. My mom was chill growing up and even now she just works all the time and has a chill vibe.
I have every intention of being a young parent. I have always wanted to have a child in my early to mid 20's. My personal reason is because I would like to have more time with my children. Think about it this way. You give birth to your child at 25. Say for example you live until you're 65. That is 40 years you got to be in your child's life, whereas compared to having that child at 45. By the time they're 15, you'll already be 60. That puts a huge burden on both of you. Not only have you retired, but what if you can't help them with college? Not everyone saves efficiently. But now that kid is stuck with the question of trying to support you at such a young age. Also from the child's perspective, they wouldn't have even had that much time with their own parents. These are the factors that I put into this question. Nothing else. Only time. I'm not talking about family issues or anything else, just time.
@Mike Miller I think you can't say that for all young parents you really are painting them with a broad brush. Because people can generalize older parents too as well. Having children when your too old can result in a number of health complications that may not be even worth having a child. And then raising them still might be a problem because you have these career hungry older adults that never had time for a kid in the first place. I think it depends on the individuals making a baby I've seen success and failures on both ends of the spectrum.
And to add on, the children of older parents will be slapped with caregiving once they reach adulthood. That's something that needs to be brought up more often. It's really unfair that they're stuck in the nest caregiving for one or both parents and can't leave the nest and get their own lives/careers launched. It's better to have your kids take care of you AFTER they get their lives, careers, and families going rather than BEFORE.
@Mike the Mechanic LLC My mom is 53 and am 14 she has arthritis, heat flashes, can't hear me sometimes, and gets insanely tired after to work. but I never thought about how my parents could have been divorced if they were younger. my dad was deported and they are still married for over 20 years. (I hope)
@Mike the Mechanic LLC what is wrong with living in apartments? There are people who live in big cities so you can't live in a house and I prefer living near what you would call "downtown" in America because I can walk to school and can go anywhere in like 15 minutes. My grandma lives in the corner of a city where most people live in houses, it's boring there and I have to take the bus for 45 minutes to get to the city.
I’m 44 and didn’t plan on having any kids. Now I have A 2 year old and A 3 year old. The best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m very blessed. Wouldn’t change anything. Loving life,
Well, if you have older parents, lets say in 10 years they will have 35 years, so in 2028 there will be a lot progress in science, in life style, health, and other fields, and tomorrow is the best day to live, how do I know that? see the life expentancy it grows everyday! tomorrow wil be better than yesterday, so maybe we should wait a little bit for a better world.
@Punkfuk it improves by the same reason that it progress trhough time, and yes death comes so why dont you end your life now then? ...death is the enemy, we won´t win, but we still must fight it, people in the 80s said the same for the 2000´s, and we are better than ever before (yes, there are still problems but we are better in more things than the other side of the coin) there are challenges but humand kind proves it can deal with them, just give it time, in 2050 we will produce twice as food that we produce now and we will have better conditions of natural resources, you can bet on that.
Dez Lovecraft The world only seems to be going downhill from where I am. I have no interest in waiting around for the Earth to become paradise before having kids, because that simply will not happen, and you’ll die having wasted your life waiting for perfection that never came.
From my perspective and knowledge I think the parent that is the best is: A loving one, a smart one and a parent (when you are born) around the age of 27 and 28
And to add on: Younger parents: won't need the kids to take care of them not long after they grow up Older parents: will need the kids to take care of them before the kids can leave the nest and get their lives launched
My parents had me at 39 and now im 16 and they are now 55 and both is already having health problems and not having a job. I dont have siblings, so it feels like alot.
That was somewhat the case with me and it started to get bad with my mom once I graduated HS. I'm 31 and aside from college, I've had to take care of her in some capacity. Things took a bigger detour 6 yrs ago and the caregiving duties increased. She's 72 and I feel like I'm taking care of a 92 yr old. Not to mention, you're at risk of losing one of them sooner than expected. I lost my dad over 2 yrs ago. He had had back and shoulder issues since I was born. I feel like I'm 20-30 yrs older tending to my mom and until late 2022, having to deal with things regarding my dad's estate and his things. When I was born, my mom was 40 and my dad was 43.
Both of my parents were 16 when they had me. My childhood was lovely. Having young parents has taught me soo much in life. I wouldn't have it any other way. Might I mention I am an Only child as well.
My parents had me at 20 and 21 years of age. Super glad they had me early because I had a lot of awesome experiences at a very early age with parents who were physically active and had a lot of energy. A lot of my friends' parents had them at a much older age and it seems like they kind of got the short end of the stick in terms of having parents who were young and active.
Same here. My mom was 20 and my dad had just turned 22. Always had a youthful experience with them as a kid. They were always able to play with me and relate to me.
I’m 14 and my parents will be 50 and 52 this year,so a little bit older. I just live with my mom and she can get a bit tired dealing with me sometimes but for the most part can keep up with me. She’s a pretty fun mom,I feel it is better for people to have kids on the later side (30-35)
Its better to have a young dad, my dad is 47 years old, im 11, and my dad works 18-23 hours a day, spends no time with me at all, I love him so much, he never teached me how to fight or how to stand up to my self. My life is super boring, im half russian.
My dad is 54, my mom is 44, and I'm 13. I believe that it is technically true that children with older parents have higher IQs since I've been the top student in my class for some time now, and so is my best friend who's parents are around 40 to 50. Though I'd say that it won't really matter much if your kid is academically slow or fast. Just make sure to be very prepared for a kid if you're planning to have one, because you'll make a big significance to the kid's well-being.
My mom had me with 40 and she is the most important person in my life. She had traveled a lot, has a open-mind and she is very kind too. We're very close. I have a friend who has a thirty-year-old parents and, honestly, they don't have a very close relationship. They don't share thoughts/feelings. Obviously it isn't like that always
You failed to mention that the "more likely" or "more at risk" is relative. Risks to children only goes up by about 2% at MOST when you have children at a later age.
I had best of both worlds. My mom was 28 and my dad was 56. My dad was heathy but not as active as my mom. My dad was and still is one of the wises men I know but my mom kept up with me while my dad was slower. I appreciate my parents in different ways.
Well there is also the stereotype that men mature later than women. On the other hand, women already live longer than men, so the guy would likely die quite a bit before the woman. Biology is stupid; there's nothing intelligent about this design. 😒
@TheBunkerBuster 105 This is entirely untrue. Women's fertility peaks in their 20s, with some estimates putting the highest rate in the *late* 20s. Teenage pregnancies carry significant risk, and younger mothers are often unable to properly raise and care for an infant. It's important to note that the brain doesn't stop developing until around 25--a 16 year old may be technically capable of having a child, but emotionally, financially, and physically unprepared to do so. You also make some strange and biased assumptions: that men want "young, attractive women" (yuck) and that women want "resources to raise their children." The idea that men want younger women is entirely sociological, and has no biological or inherent base to it. And women, of course, are entirely capable of desiring a career and a high-paying job, in addition to or without children. You also fail to account for men who wish to stay home and care for their children, or for how men's fertility wanes during their thirties and forties.
I'm 19 and 15 weeks pregnant I wouldn't change anything yes I'm struggling and living in my car atm but this baby is my baby and I wouldn't change anything
I was born when my dad was 41 and my mom was 29. So I guess I got both young and old parents. But I always felt cooler around my mom. She was accepting of me getting a tattoo and ear piercings which my dad wasn't very happy with. Also, my mom stood as a strong pillar of support during my teen years when I dealt with mental issues and bullying. So, I think that parents should be young and I myself want to have my youngest latest by my mid 30s.
Had my kid at 25 (was an accident) and I'm so happy I had em when I did. I couldnt imagine raising a kid in your late 30s or older and not having a lot of energy to do activities with your kid. Kids are literally nonstop energy and it would be such a burden at an old age to not match that energy most of the time
A) Younger parents, active, can afford less
B) Older parents, less active, but wiser, can afford some more
Why?
The Infographics Show trueeee
Which do you choose?
A)
Can you do a video about the six day war in 1967?
Younger, because most likely to be healthier and can have more common interests. Also probably have better knowledge of modern society (i.e. electronic devices like phones, how things like getting a job is dealt, what schools are like),
So the solution to the dilemma seems to be, have children early in life, but only when you are mentally & financially prepared
That'd be the perfect scenario...
Sir Fetish Fancy I haven’t met a mentally stable human before
I am
Sir Fetish Fancy Exactly.
I've seen it happen too many times when the young parents are overwhelmed and are struggling.
It's not fair to the child.
Ryan Blanche and if you're not overwhelmed
And not struggling then that's not parenting or you have a great child. Parenting is not a walk in the park.
my father is 84 and I'm 21, we're very close and my parents are both very loving and treat me well, but they didn't coddle me growing up, my father is very wise when it comes to things like banking, credit cards, taxes, housing and buying cars and has passed his knowledge down to me and taught me how to save money early on.
Obviously the downside is that I'm gonna lose him, sooner rather than later.
No offense (its just a question) but how old is your mother? Because it'd be Nearly impossible to give birth in your early 50's as women are going through or already had menopause.
@@haihai9022 fair question, she's in her 50s, that being said she's unwell, he was significantly older than her when they married
Very true, my parents are older and I want my kids to know them so I'm going to try to have kids before 35. It's just a goal but it's something I kinda can't help but think about.
I am 20 and my mom is 51 and my dad is 70. I love them to death but the generation gap sucks sometimes.
Ps: English is my second language , feel free to correct any errors.
My father is 79 and me 17
I’m 16 and most of my friends parents are in their 30s and 40s but not my parents are about to be 60. I still love them more than anything in the world though.
how- ur friends parents are so young
Same, i’m 18, my dad is 61 and mom 53.
Its okay my parents are going to be 60 when my siblings are 15.
I get 40s but... 30s is really young.
Yh....my parents are both 50 and I'm 16, due to that I'd to mature earlier than most because all my siblings are atleast 10 years older than me.
My mom had my oldest brother at age 17, and me at 43. It’s strange how my siblings had a completely different upbringing than me
Your brother is really 26 years ahead of you?? What an unusual age gap
Me and my sister have a 12 year age gap and i thought i was weird lmao
I have a 13 year age gap with my youngest brother. But yes the way we were raised is very different
Kayla4217 well they are my half siblings. When she had my brother and sister, she was a clueless young mom. I was the late in life miracle baby. But there are some advantages, like being able to relate more with my nieces and nephews, and not having pressure to give my parents grandchildren.
My brother is 16 years older than me, my older sister is 14 years older than me, and my youngest sister is 12 years older than me

I was born when Mom was 16
I'm a teen. who has old parents
They know nothing about technology
They don't really party that much
They're developing illnesses that come with age e.g arthritis
Get tired of walking/doing sport after 10 mins.
All my grand parents were gone when I was 8
And what you're trying to say is...?
He is trying to put out that younger parents are better in his opinion as he is clearly listing all the downsides of older parents and lacks the downsides of younger parents so he clearly has a bias that younger parents are better as the OP has older parents, ask someone that has younger parents and their outlook will be different
Sheena1234ization yet, I can attest to that bc my mother is old but she likes to go to parties (her extroversion-) and she knows technology to a certain extent but I relate to everything else on your list but I never met my grandparents, I only met one of them until she passed when I was 5 :')
I relate to this so much. I would love to ask my parents to do certain stuff with me without there health or age to get in the way. It would be nice to have had my grandparents at my graduations and important events but sadly they passed away from old age. But I’m also glad that my parents are older because they learned from past mistakes. Still sucks that my main fear though, is my parents probably dying when I’m 30.
kayla blount how old were your parents when you were born
So basically for women 25-34 is the sweet spot of being financially secure and having a healthy young body.
👍
Daimaō ermmmmm, that only depends if they don't ruin their health by other substances like smoking, excessively drinking etc. Because my mother smokes and drinks (appropriately)
My mom has me when she was 39 and had my sister when she was 41 and we’re both fine
My mum had me when she was 37
Not nessesarily. I want kids and I am 31. I studied for 10 years and have 3 degrees and literally just got my first job this year. Even if I wanted kids, theres no way I am financially secure enough to have one...
To me, I find that 28-32 is a great age to have kids. Not too young, not too old
i think so
For me too
I agree I'm waiting to have my first child at 31
@Aiden tf is wrong with that at age 15 my mom was 52
My mom who birthed me at 22: *looks away*
Well I guess I’m ahead of my time. I’m 26 and had a baby. No college debt or degree. just a music channel. I own my own home and pay all the bills. And I got married at 21. Everything was planned for me since I came from a broken family. I love my baby and have always been more mature for my age. Make the right devotions no matter your age and you’ll see.
🌝🌝🌝🌝
Congrats I guess
My dad did kind of have similar kind of growing . My dad was broken family . He ending up own a house and renting the house so he could his pay his loan . He ended up get PHd in chemistry.
My mother who came from wealthy and did take job but quit even though she may want to get back in the working field . Honestly, I don’t trust my brother driving skills if he does have driver’s license.
You do well financially? That can make all the difference in the world!
❤️🖤💚
I had my oldest when I was 21. Now that he's 21 I cannot imagine having a baby now to raise (at age 42). I just don't have the patience I did when I was younger. I'm happy traveling the world now and having time to myself and my hobbies. My ex husband had an older mother and didn't have grandparents and his mom was always the oldest mom at school functions. To each his own, but in my experience younger is better
You never know!! You’re still young ! You could of had a child after 21... you dunno how life will be for you
my mom my oldest sister at 17 my sister is 15 and my mom is 31
I don’t he chose his mother. Right?
younger is better
Unless you’re wealthy or have a large support network, I would highly recommend waiting until you have had enough time to save money and have fun. Once you have a kid, it’s a complete commitment without any breaks.
My life-partner and I plan to start having kids in our mid 30s.
Still young enough to keep up, but mature enough to guide our offspring.
Is it possible to plan your life? Or will life take its own course?
The Infographics Show you can certainly plan your life to a certain degree but life/God will also guide you from behind to where you're meant to be and sometimes, that can clash with your plans but I guess you just have to flow with it bc that's life as we say :)
The Infographics Show I think that depends on individual situations/knowledge.
If all things are equal/healthy/normal, then there is enough knowledge and tools to precisely plan your reproductive life.
💭 condoms, oral sex/other methods, medicinal birth control, surgical birth control, abortion, adoption.
So yes, you can enjoy life/sex and plan your family. Yay science 🧬.
쀵쀵귀염이 I would say, you have to work with what you got, but “nobody exists on purpose, no one belongs anywhere, everyone is going to die...” so just make it fun for you and as many others as possible. No one ☝️ is coming to save the day or to give you a task/purpose. We all get to decide our own purpose.
Guiding kids is overrated
I was born to teen parents. My first 5 years of life My mom stayed with a man who abused me and her. Always grew up struggling to have food and a stable home. My dad was not in my life for the first 18 years of life. Mom turned to clubbing and a reckless lifestyle after I had become 11 leaving me to essentially raise my brother and sister in the 15-17 hours a day she was gone. I know that others had it worse in life but I grew up in a situation where I don’t think anyone of my elders were mature enough to have had a kid and thus I plan to wait until my late twenties and early thirties.
Kyle C- That was a similar story with my ex-step-nephew ( now 2 this year) and his parents. They were dating (now engaged since mid-late last year) few months and they went out clubbing with my ex-stepmother and my cousin while my and I went back home. My ex-step-brother got his girlfriend pregnant (they we're in thier early 20's and now they are early-mid 20's). Don't worry, they're all one happy family.
As someone who was a single teen mom, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I grew up really fast after having my eldest. Sadly not everyone does and its the kids who have to suffer for it.
I was born to older parents. They divorced and my dad turned to drugs and stepped out of the picture and my mom spent all the child support on the bar and her various boyfriends that physically and sexually assaulted me until I moved out. From 10-17 I was home alone all day and night sometimes for several days even weeks at a time with no food and sometimes utilities were off. If my mom was home chances are her boyfriends were too and I was being abused and nothing was ever done. I am a young parent. I am 23 and have 3 kids. Husband and I have been married 6 years and have a nice home in an upscale area. Our utilities have never been shut off, I get to stay at home with our kids, they have everything they could ever want, nicely decorated bedrooms, and 2 sober parents that love them and are in a happy marriage. Way better than what I had.
If you saw that as well as most of your friends probably not valuing you why in the world would you have a kid. I never understood people who see the harsh reality and still have kids. It’s selfish to have children.
I’m sorry that happened to you🙏🏽❤️

My mom had me at 20 and my sister at 21. She is a highschool droput, never went to college. But when we were born she decided to turn her life around and went back to school for a degree in Medical Billing and Coding and moved us to multiple neighbourhoods trying to find a safe place. My mom always says that we are the reason that she went back to school and worked hard also my father wasn't around so she had to take care of us alone.
Me and my sister are both honor roll students inspired by my moms dedication to keeping us safe and happy, and for that i am proud of her.

I was raised up by my grandparents, and not to brag, but I ended up graduating Valedictorian, successfully got a full ride scholarship to get a bachelors degree, and now just got a Masters. When my grandparents were young it was rare for any of their own kids to go to college since many stopped at high school or dropped out. All their time and energy was spent raising me. And I'm glad they did:)

Unfortunately if you have two generations of late bloomers so to speak,
It is very possible to be a first time grand parent in your 70's.
And that'll be the case with my mom should I be able to have kids once caregiving finally ends (and if she lives to see them).

My grandfather was in his 40s when he became a grandpa. He is now 74
My wife is 40 in February and I have just turned 26 and we are trying for a baby. Our age gap means that our child will have the experience of my wife with the youth of myself to keep up with them and we believe that this is the ideal scenario for raising a child. Plus as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy much of the risks spoken of in this video can be avoided.
My parents were 27 and 39 when I was born, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Had my son at 32 and my gf was 29. I am glad I waited to my 30s to have a kid. My sister had her kids when she was 22. I could never imagine having a kid young. Takes a lot of responsibility and definately is a life changer.
a kid in my class was born when his mother was 55, and his dad was 48. He is autistic and has ADHD.
Yea if u have kids around that age there is a risk of them having disabilities
I’m inclined to think genetics play a bigger role than age because I’m autistic and I see a lot of my own autistic traits in my dad.
Age could play a role, but if there’s a genetic predisposition, age means nothing. My cousin’s son is also autistic and his mom birthed him in her teen years.
Parents that actually give a crap about you are the best, old or young.
Having young parents sucks most of the time. Most of them are irresponsible, immature, financially unstable, they don’t know much about themselves and their relationship with their partner is most of the time unstable, too. My mother had me when she was 19, she had no job not enough education no financial stability they ended up divorcing when they were still in their twenties you can imagine .. and who suffers the most in this case? The kid..
Older parents have more money
Younger parents have more energy
My parents don't have that much money,not energy at all and they're boring af . My cousin has young parents and they're rich ,have energy and are the best

I was married young and had my son at 22. He's a great guy and an engineer. I'm very proud of him and we are both avid cyclists. My brother and his wife had their first child when my brother was 51, 3 years later they had a second. I am happy with my choice to have children younger.
my parents had me in their mid-40s. I wouldn't change a single thing about them
My parents choose both. Had kids in their (2 kids) 20's and (2 more) & 40's.
We all turned out alright and helped raised the babies when we where teens. Taught us we don't like cleaning 10 diapers a day, vomit, and screaming.
We are almost 30 now and refuse to make the parents grand kids since the babies we just raised are almost done with Highschool.
I don't want to do that all over again 😓
My mom had my sister at 15, me at 19 and my brother at 21. I don’t know my dad. She was reckless and unprepared. We struggled everyday.

It's entertaining to watch as someone who was raised by a young mother and an old father. Differences in parenting styles get even more complicated when parents are from different countries too.
I'm 23. Mom is 59 and Dad is 71. As a son of old parents I can say there are advantages and disadvantages. If I put in balance I would say it's being more beneficial. I always had access to a comfy life when it comes for food, school and a lot of things, what I liked it's my parents are beyond experienced in life and they have never been doubtful or transmit insecurity, they have always given that sense of confidence and reliability so I've always felt protected and feel that I can trust, also you grow between interesting topics, they have always incentivated us to read and solve our own problems. In the other hand they try to raise you in an old fashioned, sometimes narrow minded ways that just don't function nowadays, but I didn't feel this because my mom has always been in touch with the modern education and problems so she is always adapting and evolving. For me the conclusion is that you need 2 basic conditions for having children. The first one is to have the resources to maintain them, it sounds shallow but it's reality, I've seen friends struggling to get money and that's sad. The second is you need to feel prepared to give up a lot of aspects in your life for assuming the challenge of having babies, you need to transmit security and have no doubts because there's no turning back and that will eventually affect your children.
My brother and I are fine and my mom had us at 35 and 40
I grew up with rather old parents (50s), and for activity, I almost never got to play sports with them. They would never really connect with me and modern technology.

However, I’d say my parents were very smart, and this helped me with academics and I to this day I keep straight A’s. I’d personally say that having older parents is better mostly because I feel I did connect with them, just not as much as younger parents.
Moowse your opinion will change when you lose your parents in your 30's or 40's
@@sethleger6105 From a young age I had to realize that I'd probs be the first in my class to lose my parents (assuming no one dies from something like a car crash). I love my parents, however I think when I'm 40, I will be ready for the reality of life. I've lost many family members and friends recently so it's not like this will be the first major death.
Moowse that still sucks I’m only 18 and my parents are 42 and 39
My mom is 52 and am 12 she is a good mom
I have older parents but they're young at heart. My mom loves going to the movies with me, we saw Black Panther and central intelligence together. My dad is a bit younger than my mom but still he goes out more than I do. All summer long he was partying.
In this day and age “just love” is simply too vague and impractical.
Can you actually afford to have a child, financially? Id say having a kid after you reach 30 and atleast have some decent nest egg and financial cushion, you might be able to pull it off.
Teen pregnancy or having a kid in your early 20s is a absolute no, in my opinion.
You’ll never be rich enough to afford retirement if that ever happens.
Facts
Money isn't everything. My mum came from a poor family and she's one of the best people I know.
@@vikkran401 I couldn't agree with you more wholeheartedly!
@@vikkran401 have a roof over the head, food at table, can afford clothes, toys and essential needs" Where I live in Egypt providing these is a MASSIVE wall to jump, and I'm a surgon (granted I just graduated) but it will take me at least 5-7 years of saving to provide those for my future kid. But yeah I don't get it when it comes from people living in countries where they cover every necessity even if you're broke!
@@vikkran401 but you need to take care the children emotionally and mentally too, only keeping them alive without giving them principles how to live is going to be a problem
Does it matter if you have young or old parents? Your parents are your parents and you should love them for that, no matter how old they are.
Its not about love that they are speaking about they're talking about the well being of the child and the development of the child
Yea I think you missed the whole point of the video. This is not about the parents, it's about what is best for the kids.
Oh, that makes sense.
Had my first at 26. Aiming to have my next child by the time I’m 30, hopefully We’ll be financially ready
@Sadia Sharmeen thank you. I’m almost 32 now and still not ready 😅
I’m 20.5 and my dad had me at 47, he was abusive and very strict. I still talk to him but he isn’t an easy person to talk to. My mom was chill growing up and even now she just works all the time and has a chill vibe.
Am 20,5 😂😂😂😂😂
You‘re here? Hi :)
My dad 42 when I was born and 54 when sis was born, I'm 20 now
When I was born my mom was 44 and my dad was 50, for me there were no complications and I'd have it no other way 🥰
My sis was born when dad was 54 and mom was also in her 40s
I have every intention of being a young parent. I have always wanted to have a child in my early to mid 20's. My personal reason is because I would like to have more time with my children. Think about it this way. You give birth to your child at 25. Say for example you live until you're 65. That is 40 years you got to be in your child's life, whereas compared to having that child at 45. By the time they're 15, you'll already be 60. That puts a huge burden on both of you. Not only have you retired, but what if you can't help them with college? Not everyone saves efficiently. But now that kid is stuck with the question of trying to support you at such a young age. Also from the child's perspective, they wouldn't have even had that much time with their own parents. These are the factors that I put into this question. Nothing else. Only time. I'm not talking about family issues or anything else, just time.
@Mike Miller I think you can't say that for all young parents you really are painting them with a broad brush. Because people can generalize older parents too as well. Having children when your too old can result in a number of health complications that may not be even worth having a child. And then raising them still might be a problem because you have these career hungry older adults that never had time for a kid in the first place. I think it depends on the individuals making a baby I've seen success and failures on both ends of the spectrum.
And to add on, the children of older parents will be slapped with caregiving once they reach adulthood. That's something that needs to be brought up more often. It's really unfair that they're stuck in the nest caregiving for one or both parents and can't leave the nest and get their own lives/careers launched.
It's better to have your kids take care of you AFTER they get their lives, careers, and families going rather than BEFORE.
@Mike the Mechanic LLC My mom is 53 and am 14 she has arthritis, heat flashes, can't hear me sometimes, and gets insanely tired after to work. but I never thought about how my parents could have been divorced if they were younger. my dad was deported and they are still married for over 20 years. (I hope)
@Mike the Mechanic LLC what is wrong with living in apartments? There are people who live in big cities so you can't live in a house and I prefer living near what you would call "downtown" in America because I can walk to school and can go anywhere in like 15 minutes. My grandma lives in the corner of a city where most people live in houses, it's boring there and I have to take the bus for 45 minutes to get to the city.
I’m 44 and didn’t plan on having any kids. Now I have A 2 year old and A 3 year old. The best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m very blessed. Wouldn’t change anything. Loving life,
Do you feel like having children’ makes your life feel more fulfilling?
Would much rather have older more inactive parents than young clueless parents that don't know how to take care of you.
Well, if you have older parents, lets say in 10 years they will have 35 years, so in 2028 there will be a lot progress in science, in life style, health, and other fields, and tomorrow is the best day to live, how do I know that? see the life expentancy it grows everyday! tomorrow wil be better than yesterday, so maybe we should wait a little bit for a better world.
@Punkfuk it improves by the same reason that it progress trhough time, and yes death comes so why dont you end your life now then? ...death is the enemy, we won´t win, but we still must fight it, people in the 80s said the same for the 2000´s, and we are better than ever before (yes, there are still problems but we are better in more things than the other side of the coin) there are challenges but humand kind proves it can deal with them, just give it time, in 2050 we will produce twice as food that we produce now and we will have better conditions of natural resources, you can bet on that.
In 2028 i will be 22
Dez Lovecraft The world only seems to be going downhill from where I am. I have no interest in waiting around for the Earth to become paradise before having kids, because that simply will not happen, and you’ll die having wasted your life waiting for perfection that never came.
Bs “fact”
@Az Playz I’ll be 29...
It doesn't matter how old they are as long as they love you and care about you. 💖
Stay single don't waste your time
Amen!
Nice advice.
Lol gtfoh
You have the power to friend zone everyone that's why I stay single.
Ectopic pregnancy is not abnormal position
It's abnormal location
Location doesn't mean position
At least that what my doctor told me
From my perspective and knowledge I think the parent that is the best is:
A loving one, a smart one and a parent (when you are born) around the age of 27 and 28
My mom had me at 38
Im 16 and she's 54
Its going pretty well I'd say
My mom had me at 38 had me . My dad 47 almost 48
My brother at 34 . My dad almost 43 almost 44

My mom had me at 43... and my dad was 44. But back then my mom looked more like 33.
Younger parents: more children
Older parents: less children
Now that I think of it it’s kinda true
And to add on:
Younger parents: won't need the kids to take care of them not long after they grow up
Older parents: will need the kids to take care of them before the kids can leave the nest and get their lives launched
True
My parents had me at 39 and now im 16 and they are now 55 and both is already having health problems and not having a job. I dont have siblings, so it feels like alot.
That was somewhat the case with me and it started to get bad with my mom once I graduated HS. I'm 31 and aside from college, I've had to take care of her in some capacity. Things took a bigger detour 6 yrs ago and the caregiving duties increased. She's 72 and I feel like I'm taking care of a 92 yr old.
Not to mention, you're at risk of losing one of them sooner than expected. I lost my dad over 2 yrs ago. He had had back and shoulder issues since I was born.
I feel like I'm 20-30 yrs older tending to my mom and until late 2022, having to deal with things regarding my dad's estate and his things. When I was born, my mom was 40 and my dad was 43.
Both of my parents were 16 when they had me. My childhood was lovely. Having young parents has taught me soo much in life. I wouldn't have it any other way. Might I mention I am an Only child as well.
Can confirm I had young parents too. Mom was 23 dad was 22
Same here my mom was 19 and dad was 20 when had me then now I am 18 then dad is 38 and mom is 37
My mom was 44 and my dad was 52. 😅
_Internal Suffering_
Wow, mine too
Mine was 39 & 42
19 and 32
Insub0rdination AJ my mom was 39 and my dad was 38 but they have my sister at 42/41
Kristine Le wait really
My parents had me at 20 and 21 years of age. Super glad they had me early because I had a lot of awesome experiences at a very early age with parents who were physically active and had a lot of energy. A lot of my friends' parents had them at a much older age and it seems like they kind of got the short end of the stick in terms of having parents who were young and active.
Same here. My mom was 20 and my dad had just turned 22. Always had a youthful experience with them as a kid. They were always able to play with me and relate to me.
Mom 23 dad 22 almost 23. Love younger parents
I’m 14 and my parents will be 50 and 52 this year,so a little bit older. I just live with my mom and she can get a bit tired dealing with me sometimes but for the most part can keep up with me. She’s a pretty fun mom,I feel it is better for people to have kids on the later side (30-35)
Its better to have a young dad, my dad is 47 years old, im 11, and my dad works 18-23 hours a day, spends no time with me at all, I love him so much, he never teached me how to fight or how to stand up to my self. My life is super boring, im half russian.
Then go start fights on your own!
I was 24 when my wife had our son. He's 11 and in little league and I'm 35. I think it worked out for us pretty well.
Around 27 seems to be the ideal age
I would say 26
Border Jumper 30* Or for me anyway I have some ideas in mind I’m going to be $ grinding in my 20s and then by early 30s spending more time at home.
My dad is 54, my mom is 44, and I'm 13. I believe that it is technically true that children with older parents have higher IQs since I've been the top student in my class for some time now, and so is my best friend who's parents are around 40 to 50. Though I'd say that it won't really matter much if your kid is academically slow or fast. Just make sure to be very prepared for a kid if you're planning to have one, because you'll make a big significance to the kid's well-being.
@@crunchy_poptart3979 hello 👋 its true that having a kid an older parents has a higher iq? Congrats mam.
The best idea is to have one young and one old. 🤯 I never new I was so smart
😂
And that's why my sister is 18 years older than me.....My mom had me at 43
as smb w parents that have a 15 yr age gap i wouldnt say its good lol
My mom is 59 and my dad is 73 and i am 16 but i dont care about their age cuz they love me ❤
Is it better, wix or skillshare ads?
😂
Hmmm... Wix.
What about grammarly?
Rainbow Dash ^Which is better?
I prefer Wix.
My mom had me with 40 and she is the most important person in my life. She had traveled a lot, has a open-mind and she is very kind too. We're very close. I have a friend who has a thirty-year-old parents and, honestly, they don't have a very close relationship. They don't share thoughts/feelings. Obviously it isn't like that always
You failed to mention that the "more likely" or "more at risk" is relative. Risks to children only goes up by about 2% at MOST when you have children at a later age.
This is a very important detail! They really needed to mention that.
I think late 20s to early to mid 30s is best. Because you still have energy but financially stable.
Same
I had best of both worlds. My mom was 28 and my dad was 56. My dad was heathy but not as active as my mom. My dad was and still is one of the wises men I know but my mom kept up with me while my dad was slower. I appreciate my parents in different ways.
Then, Younger mother + older father= perfect mix? 🤔
Well there is also the stereotype that men mature later than women. On the other hand, women already live longer than men, so the guy would likely die quite a bit before the woman. Biology is stupid; there's nothing intelligent about this design. 😒
=peterfiller
Lies, older woman, younger man.
@@hughjanus7131 Yeah! My aunt is 14 years older than her husband, they have 2 healthy children 😂😂😂
@TheBunkerBuster 105 This is entirely untrue. Women's fertility peaks in their 20s, with some estimates putting the highest rate in the *late* 20s. Teenage pregnancies carry significant risk, and younger mothers are often unable to properly raise and care for an infant. It's important to note that the brain doesn't stop developing until around 25--a 16 year old may be technically capable of having a child, but emotionally, financially, and physically unprepared to do so. You also make some strange and biased assumptions: that men want "young, attractive women" (yuck) and that women want "resources to raise their children." The idea that men want younger women is entirely sociological, and has no biological or inherent base to it. And women, of course, are entirely capable of desiring a career and a high-paying job, in addition to or without children. You also fail to account for men who wish to stay home and care for their children, or for how men's fertility wanes during their thirties and forties.

O ok
Same here, I was premature and was 1 pound 8 ounces. And the doctors thought I was gunna die bc how sick I was. But like you, I'm here and healthy :))
I'm 19 and 15 weeks pregnant I wouldn't change anything yes I'm struggling and living in my car atm but this baby is my baby and I wouldn't change anything
I was born when my dad was 41 and my mom was 29. So I guess I got both young and old parents. But I always felt cooler around my mom. She was accepting of me getting a tattoo and ear piercings which my dad wasn't very happy with. Also, my mom stood as a strong pillar of support during my teen years when I dealt with mental issues and bullying. So, I think that parents should be young and I myself want to have my youngest latest by my mid 30s.
My dad is 61 and I'm 12 and I love him with all my heart ❤❤❤❤
Similar situation here
Had my kid at 25 (was an accident) and I'm so happy I had em when I did. I couldnt imagine raising a kid in your late 30s or older and not having a lot of energy to do activities with your kid. Kids are literally nonstop energy and it would be such a burden at an old age to not match that energy most of the time
I got an unpopular opinion you shouldn't have kids past your 30s and it's selfish because your kids will have less time with you on earth
@@CaliMex98 It's also careless and the kids will be taking care of their parents a lot sooner than normal.
