Another sexual poll

[RB TexLa]

edit: added option 9

[MrSlayer]

1. I was 23 when my first child was born.

25 for the second.

[ClayZ]

8. I was 23 when my daughter was born,

and 25 when my son was born, in 1973 and 1975. I got my two beautiful step-children several years later. Now, my oldest of 5 grandchildren, is 16 and has an appointment for his drivers test on the 19th of this month. My how time flies! (except for the last 8 years and they took FOREVER!)

[Journeyman]

2. So, people either breed before 25 or never? . . .

I was 30 before our first was conceived . . .

[RB TexLa]

5. I edited to add that

[Donnachaidh]

3. I feel left out -- where's the old fogey button?

Some of us old farts had kids past the age of 25.

Don't make me chase you off my lawn there, sonny jim.....:waves cane in the air:

[RB TexLa]

7. It was choice 8, then I put the current 8 and and left it off, had to put it at the end to not

affect the vote

4. What If I Fathered A Child After 25?

Which category am I on?

[RB TexLa]

the one that says after 25

[RB TexLa]

6. .

[waiting for hope]

9. 37 for the first -

41 when my second was born. We were very lucky, both are very healthy. Now, if I could recapture about a tenth of their energy, I'd be in good shape!

[Mind_your_head]

10. If the mother didn't 'tell you' she was pregnant ....how would you know?

Just something to consider? :shrug:

[RB TexLa]

11. I'm not going back and puting known that you fathered.

and of course it's the mother's right to not tell the father if she doesn't want to.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. Where is the 'adopted a baby" choice?

Just kidding... well, maybe not.

[SpookyCat]

13. "I am not child-less, darling....

I'm child-FREE!" LOL!

That's been attributed to Talolah Bankhead, but I can't verify that. I love the quote though...

Never wanted one, never regretted not having one (I'm 40)

What prompted the poll, j/c?

[kdmorris]

14. Too bad I can't check more than one...

I gave birth to my first daughter in 1987, at the age of 18.

My second daughter was born when I was 20, in 1990 (I turned 21 when she was 2 weeks old).

My third daughter was born when I was 22, in 1991.

[uppityperson]

15. mid-30's and very happy to have waited. eom

[Sultana]

16. I don't have any kids....

...yet. I'm 23, no need to rush.

But I do plan to have my first around 26 or 27, inchallah. :D

[lamp_shade]

17. I "mothered".

[Iggo]

18. At the risk of sounding cliche...

None that I know of.

[Ghost in the Machine]

19. I was almost 30 when my daughter was born..

.. almost 31 when my son was born. I lived my life, did all my partying and hellraising *before* I settled down and had kids. I watched my older sister get married and have a baby right out of high school.. and watched her and her husband struggle through it (and have another baby). Hell, I was loaning them money when I was 16 & 17 years old... I never wanted that for myself...

It was *still* scary as hell having them when I was older, but I've done pretty good at raising them alone for the past 12-13 years... there's no way I could have done this at 18, 21 or even 25...


Peace,

Ghost
