Do you think there's a specific age where it's best to have children, or do you think it depends on life circumstances?
I think it's more circumstantial, but between 25-35 seems ideal
I don't think it should be about a "best age" or whatever crap society tries to push on to people.
It should be more about, can you support yourself, your child, and your partner? If yes, then yes.
If no to any of those, then no. You're not ready
Also consider your living situation, future prospects, etc. It's dumb to have kids while you're living at home, dumping half the responsibility on the people that raised you. It's dumb to have kids if you don't have a stable income or living arrangement.
All in all, people need to think more about it instead of popping out children willy-nilly.
I don't know where, how or why it was romanticised, but it happened and it's ruining the lives of millions of people who can't think for themselves, let alone for 5 seconds about the life they're about to bring into the world.
We need more education, and more thought put into having children. Your bad decisions WILL affect the life of your child.
Think with your head, not with your heart.
tl;dr - Children are disgusting creatures, but if you insist on having one, you should ensure you're in a position to give it the best life possible.
