ANYONES opinion please
My family can be really critical, but what they think will always matter to me, as well as my friends. So i just need some opinions from everyone.
Im on track to become a Nurse. but im about three years away from being totally done with it.. I really want to start a family.. i want to be able to have enough energy to have fun with my family. I love kids, i work with kids, but im worried that people might think im too young still. My family atleast tends to think that 35 is the perfect age to have children. So..
My question is: what is the RIGHT age for people to start a family? (assume they would be married)
Thank you so much. sorry if its in the wrong category

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
No one can really say what the 'right' age is for someone to start a family. They may see thirty-five as the right age, while people in older times saw fourteen and fifteen as a suitable age to have children/get married.
It's only an opinion, but thirty-five may even be a little late, depending on when you'd be going through menopause, etc.
Only you can really determine when you're ready and willing to have children. Your family will probably support you in your decisions you make, and if not, well, they should.
What I'd reccomend is finishing up your schooling, and finding a job in becoming a Nurse. Once you've got a stable job, that's when I'd reccomend trying to have children.
But, like I said, it's all up to you! If you think you'd be able to handle a baby at the point you're at now, feel free! Just make sure you think you'll be able to handle everything that comes along with a family.
Good luck (:

Your family shouldn't have a say as to when you should think about having a family. As long as you're physically, emotionally ready to have a family then that should be all that they need to know. Plus, you need to know that it's want you really want (and by the sounds of it, it is).
I can see as to why you family feels that 35 is a good age. I mean, you're more mature, you know what life is about, you've travelled around and done different things.
In this case, I would say wait for a while. After you've done your nursing course, go travelling for a while, see the world. I wouldn't tie yourself to having a family just yet because after that, there isn't much oppotunity to travel around, to see different countries/cultures/food etc. With a family, it's more expensive and you're not able to do the things that you want to do in that country. Whilst if you travel by yourself, you're able to do whatever you want.
By all means, it's your choice, that was my view. Live your early life a little before starting a new one.
I hope this helped,

i dont really think it matters as long as it is over the age of 20..but our opinions nor should your family and friends matter. It should be what YOU think. What makes YOU happy. Thats all that matters in this question and topic is YOU.

anytime you feel like you are ready, and by ready i mean physically, emotionally, and finicially ready to have a family then start. your family is entitled to think that 35 is the appropriate age, and you have to hear them out. but it's ultimately you're life, and only you can decide when the timing is right, and trust me when you're ready you'll know. good luck.
