Yes, we're "supposed" to have babies in our mid-teens to early-twenties really.

Edit: For a father, the risk of schizophrenia doubles every 16.5 years. Beginning in your twenties your body starts loving up at making sperm.

Mistakes.

You were a mistake op.

E:
One night your mom was going down on your dad and he was going down on her 69. They were too horny and prolly too drunk to care about condoms. So your dad just shoved his meat rod in her taco waiting to be filled. And pouned and pounded till the sour cream was added.

And a baby burrito known as you was born.

Everything they said is true
There is no set age that makes one ready for children OP. If you're financially stable and responsible enough to care for and raise another human being for the next 18 years then you're ready.
If you're a 26 year old stoner who posts on SomethingAwful about how they can't imagine having kids yet then you should probably keep doing that.

Imagine how much greater the world would be if people just stopped having babies left and right because it's their "right" to reproduce. gently caress making abortions illegal we should start making them mandatory for people below a certain IQ and financial threshold.

Faggots are the best thing that happened to the world. At least they have to plan for kids.

We had kids in our 40s and it's not too bad, but kinda tiring (ok, a lot tiring). Do it as soon as you feel ready to do it, and not before hth.

i get that having kids some kind philosophical/"wouldnt trade them for the world" experience but im pretty sure not having kids is infinitely better

it's like getting into a horrific accident and suddenly getting some kind of clarity or epiphany on life itself, sure you may be a bit wiser in those things but at least if you weren't all hosed up you could do whatever the gently caress you wanted to do

Young people aren't wanting to have children because they don't have the financial security of their parents. In previous generations, by the mid 20s you'd likely have a steady job that'd keep you employed for life, a car, a reasonable chance of getting a home loan for a house that doesn't take more than 3 lifetimes for you to pay off, and a college loan that isn't a full decade's wages.

So, in conclusion, blah blah globalisation blah class warfare blah blah rich people blah socialism blah.

I guess it's one of those compensation factor feedback loops. Overpopulation shits things up for people, so their lives suck and they can't afford to have kids, so the situation fixes itself up when all the old bastards finally eat themselves to death, except in regions where children are basically your entire old age safety net so people have even more of them if they're poor.

Which means you have to, really: kill you're famil

Classy.

Your parents were raised by a completely different kind of people than raised you, and baby boomers in general coddled and and were overprotective of their kids, making them far less prepared for life.

Also student debt and a hosed up economy. My father had a successful business and a house at 26. I am 29 and do not have either of those things.

I've heard that now they use the term "geriatric" now instead, so it's not that different.
