Men and women esp should be having kids by their mid twenties. The mutational load you pass on to your child when you're 40 is much larger than it is when you're in your 20s. Your kids will be all sorts of fucked up if you wait beyond your peak fertility.
More women in their 40s are having babies than teens in the US (for the first time ever)

No, immature 20 year olds still living off their parents income should not be having children

“Especially women” when it’s advanced paternal age that increases mutations. Women have already produced their eggs. It’s the men who produce mutated sperm when they are older. The biology doesn’t back your misogyny, chud.

my parents had me at 38 and 37. i would much rather them have had me at this age, even with health risks, than to have me at a younger age and be immature and raise me poorly because they weren’t emotionally or financially mature enough. also you sound like someone who learned about epigenetics from a single tweet or article or *maybe* one class session and just ran with it without bothering to learn more

I think ideal for kids would be 24-26, not based on financial but just based on maturity

My parents had me in their late 30s. I’m fine. I’m glad they did because by then they were financially stable.
