    It's all roger irrelevant.

    Right, last post <grr>

    He'll be a better dad when he's 33.

    Jen mentioned that people having kids over 35 were nutters - my argument is relative.

    I had kids young and there is nothing wrong with them.

    However, I can provide better for my toddler and she's got a better chance in life than my eldest two.

    It's a relative argument.

    Parents can be good parents when they're 20 - I'm not suggesting otherwise. However, they will be better parents when they're 30.

    How can you state that you are a better parent at 30 though?

    It is a preposterous claim.

    We had my first when I was 21 and she was 19.

    In my opinion, age is irrelevant to this whole debate. You could grow to be old and bitter, you may mature like a fine bottle of red.

    I was certainly more energetic with my oldest, beating her almost daily but with my son I can barely be arsed stubbing a *** out on his arm these days.

    Bib surely your a better parent to the 3rd brat because you had practice before the 3rd whereas with the first it was all new? Ive got a 16 year old daughter and a boy thats 12 the mora none of them were planned, i dont think it matters what age you are when you have them, some folk are just **** at handling it while others take to it easier <ok>
