I think that as long as you are able and healthy enough to take care of a child then you are young enough to have one. I would rather wait until I am forty and have a child that I will be able to support financially, physically, and emotionally than to have one now when I know I am neither ready nor able to give that child what they need.
I was talking to the sweetest old lady in the nail salon the other day. She had three daughters and they were all seven years apart. She had the first at 35, the second at 42, and the baby at 49. When I asked her why, she said "Oh, I couldn't have more than one little child at a time or I would've killed one of them." I really admire her. She had children when it would be best for the both of them and that's really what matters, not age.
