Guys, what age did you say (or do you think you’ll say), “I’m ready to be a dad!”?

Yea i purposely did not give an option of NEVER but to each its own. I’ve seen very few men say they want it. Maybe its some unspoken truth. I mean, Some say they want to be financially stable first and others already are and still dont say they want it til they’re about 50. I mean y'all know I’m baby crazy and wanted to be a mom since age 3 😂 but more seriously at age 23. I just wanted to finish college first in which I did. So i get if some are waiting for diff stuff. But yea is there any men who are actually baby crazy as well? Cause all the ones i met were either crazy about it under 21 and changed once they aged up, or they were not about it until over 40 and well thats just nuts to me. Anyways, when i do hear guys talk passionately about wanting fatherhood (regardless of their age), I find it to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. #FeelFreeToList #Daddio

  • the family topic can become a problem for me..
    I definitely want to be a father one day, but I want to be one very late. Definitely not before 40, but I don't know if it would be the best for my child if I would become a father at a very high age. Do you think becoming father at the age of 50 is too late?

    • I do. I personally feel anything 35+ is. But to eachh its own

  • Mentally I’m ready I've wanted to be a father and husband since I was a kid.

    but I need to be finically stable and married first.

    • But like some dudes confuse financially stable with rich. They think they need to make 6 figures before even having at least one kid. So what is financially stable to you?

    • Finically stable for me is just making enough to support myself and or the family in question and being able to live comfortably.

    • Okay that makes sense. I want at least one kid before 30 and then like none after unless I adopt. So i feel im stable to support myself and one kid. I just know not to have more if i can't afford it

  • I'd say I've always loved babies especially once they start talking and crapping on the toilet. I raised 4 daughters they were all pretty cool in their own ways up until about 13ish then they went a little out of wack except my youngest she's a daddy's girl and has never given me any problems. Kids can be fun just go into it knowing they're a lot of work

    • Love reading this

    • Thank you one things for sure daughters can break your heart like no other

    • I believe it

  • Right now, I'll stick to early 30's

    I find the right person sooner maybe that would change but after that point I'd probably give up entirely

    • Sounds good

  • Lol, those are adorable.

    • I knoooow 😭🙌

  • 23 I was ready.. And still ready I want a brood but as sad as it is I'll go to a sperm bank and donate... at least I'll have a kid somewhere out there lol

    • Awww thats so sweet

    • Think I'm close to just as aching as you for kids hehe

    • Awwww :D

  • I don't want children nor will I ever have them.

    • Okay

  • I was 24/25 when that set in.

    • Good :)

  • Haven't felt it yet, probably won't be feeling it.
    I'm not really good with kids or good at being around them, so I have more or less decided not to have kids.

    • Ohh ok

  • Around my mid 20s after spending 5 years or so helping raise my nephew and niece.

    • Beautiful

  • Maybe two years ago.

    • Nice age

  • How about... "when did I know I DIDN'T EVER want to be a dad"? When I was 15.

  • Anyone who says they are ready, is wrong.

  • I'm ready to be a dad mentally, but not quite ready yet logistically.

    Most of my life I wanted kids (theoretically) but didn't really like them. I just started to become comfortable with the idea of being a father around age 22.

    • Well im glad you changed for the better

    • @DizzyDesii Thanks, I guess? Lol. I don't think anyone is an evil person if they don't want kids. And don't expect any teenage boy to want to have children. It's just something you have to grow into naturally.

    • I dont think theyre evil but I do feel we were made to procreate/reproduce. Keep the lineage going

  • I had 2 of my 4 children at 17. Didn't have a chance to find out when I'd be ready I just had to take care of my responsibilities ready or not.

    • Twins?

    • Nope. 2 different women 3 weeks apart.

    • Damn you had it like that

  • There are two separate answers to this question for me. When I was 15-20 my plan was to be a dad of two children at the age of 25 or before, I even had that as a lifegoal, but I don't think I was ready back then. With more perspective to my life how it was back then. Now at age 30, still haven't lived up to that goal. But now I feel more ready than ever before.

    • Amazing that you feel ready tho. Dont wait til its too late 💪💪

    • It's not for anytime soon, Im a man.

    • Meaning what

  • i thinks i'll be ready around 27-30... maybe sooner... but the timeline has to be right... Q - Q hard to know what's gonna happpen within a couple years

    • True

  • Starting around 25 years of Age. By then, hopefully I'll have the Career I'm studying for, be Married and be a Good Husband.

    Besides that, my Lover has shown Interest in starting Motherhood at 25.

    • Happy for y'all

  • Never, I knew from an early age that I would never want to father children. I saw my sister have 2 children, I remember the constant crying, the mess and all the paraphernalia that went with looking after them. I never wanted that responsibility.

    • I see

  • Dont know yet
