Settling down?

Was just thinking there i,m 30 and already settled down with the missus ,wean and mortgage .However i seem to be the only one out of about 11 close mates about my age
I,ve also noticed that when i pick the wee man up from nursery i,m the youngest there and we are also the youngest family in our street.

This brings me to the question at what age do you think folk should be settling down and doing the family thing?

 

My cousin's 26, has FOUR kids (one from his wife's previous marriage) and his three are all three and under. How's THAT for settled down? Poor *.

 

im 33 and me n the missus are 8 weeks away from having our 1st wean so i reckon thats me pretty much settled! Not a bad age to settle down though, had all my fun when i was younger and looking forward to something different

 

oooofftt nae luck to him i,m not that greedy when it comes to weans one,ll do me

 

27- 29.5 is the right age marrying age for guys. 25 - 39 for women.

Parenthood within 2.5 years, maybe 4 is right too.

I got married when I was 29, I think. tbh, parents of 6 year olds I know here are any age between 28 and 50, though mostly towards the lower end of the scale.

Sounds to me like you've got the train on schedule FancyPants. You sould start with he lego soon. And Bob the Builder and Thomas the Tank engine too, but not the film wi Alec Baldwin in it. ANd not Barney the friggin dinosaur either..

But the lego is great for dexterity and coordination.

That's my advice anyway as an expert parent.

 

Forgot to mention i've got 2 boys and wouldn't mind anotrher tbh. Fatherhood's great. You get to relive your childhood and play wi toys and stuff. And walk the dog 3 times a day mind you. Still, best job in the world.

Ask me in ten years again when they're teenagers...

 

I,m with you on the barney thing there ,the doods a bit suspect as for the lego he,s got tonnes the house is like a big fekin toy box

 

I love you, you love me, were a happy family! Barney rocks.

 

I'm 29 next birthday. Have a mortgage. Have been with my girlfriend for over 7 years. But the idea of having kids scares the * out of me!

 

I do not think there is a right or wrong age to be honest. You will know yourself when you are ready to settle down in my opinion.

 

Dont think their is a right or wrong age to settle down. Once you find the right person for you, why not? no matter what age.

 

My sister in-lwa has just found Mr.Rght at the age of 44, despite me telling her she was outside the ideal age bracket.

You never know. Sometimes you just know. Love is always in the air. I think, personally, it's the quarks. Higgs Bosuns could never make you feel that way...

 

I got married at 25

1st child at 23

2nd child at 26

Best to have kids early cos by the time they have grown up and flown the nest, all your other mates will be tied down and wont have the freedem later in life that you will.

A few of my mates are just starting to have kids and mine are 9 and 6 already.

 

^ agree with that mate however is it me or do folk not appear to be having weans at an older age

 

ive had 3 divorces and 8 children so not included

 

I'm 26 but more and more I'm coming round to the idea of taking the foot off the gas and finding a burd I'll wanna spend the rest of my life with.
Goin out and getting *-faced doesn't have the same appeal as it did 2 years ago, though I still like a session.
I'll definitely be taking it a lot easier after 30, wanna be fit for the weans if/when they come along.

 

Im 27 with ma missus who is 26, we have a 5 year old boy and a 6 year old girl, a mortgage, full time jobs, a dog, go on a family holiday once a year, etc etc. The only downside is i cant go to the games as much as i used to especially abroad.

 

Children are the best thing in the world.
