When is the right time to start a family? Do you wait until you are more financially secure, more settled in your career or older and wiser? It really is down to individual preference, there is no right or wrong time to start your family. Some people will want to climb their career ladder prior to thinking of starting their family, whilst others will prefer to have their children at an early age, thus still being young enough to return to their career when the children are older. The advantages of having children younger means you have more energy to run around with them as toddlers whereas as you get older yourself you do tend to have more wisdom and patience to deal with young children.
With regard to the financial side, most people live to what they earn and therefore makes little difference to the timing of having your first child.
Statistics show that the average age of having your first child for a woman is much younger than a man, being 25-30 years for a woman and 30-35 for a man. These are only guides that Supa Swap suggest, everyone is in a different and unique situation, and depends on the family involved.
Our main blogger, Susan, is just a normal mum. She has two children, twins, Mark and Damian, who are now 14 years old. Her husband Mortimer is often away from home with his work and so Susan has had to find a way of raising her young family that fits in with her life style and a working mum.
