Females/Males - Best age to have a child?

What do you think the best age to have a child is?

I recently read an article that women should have their babied in their 20's - so that they could go back into work after and climb the corporate ladder rather than stopping and starting. For males, most decide to settle down late 20's/30's.

What do you think?

Im female (20) and am currently making incredibly good progress in my career. I really can't see how I can be the best at what I do and have children (id be doing well if I achieved just one of them..!)
I don't think I'll ever be able to have children.. :confused:

I would say late 20s / early 30s, as by then you have matured enough, and are hopefully financially stable.
There's no "best age" it entirely depends on circumstance and personal preference and individual maturity.
Well for me it's about 28 or something, but obviously it depends on who you are and when you wanna do it

Never. Children smell and require constant attention. :unimpressed:
It depends on the person.

No, I was grown in a test tube and released at the age of 16.
Late 20s, early-mid 30s. You want them late enough that you've progressed far enough in your work to be financially stable (not gonna happen in your early 20s), but not too old that after they're left home you retire straight away (40s).
