What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child?
I'm first in the comments box!
Easiest to talk to? PapaC, because he loves me anyway. SisterM, because she loves me, cries over me and worries about me when no one else does. My mom, because she is wiser than she knows. Smock because she loves me and prays for me.
Ancient city? None, I have never had a desire to live any time other than where I do. And I think that what is deemed the "height" of many civilizations in culture is also the height of decadence and materialism many times. And that bothers me.
Exciting event? None in person. Oh, except for a motorcycle wreck with a flying motorcyclist body when we were on vacation this summer. Exciting, but in a BAD way! On television? Finding out who our new pope would be. 9/11. The Challenger explosion.
Publicity stunt? I would go on any game show that would let me be a contestant!
Age for first child? I didn't have Zteen until I was 30. I wish I had been much, much younger. I really think it is better to start young (and keep going!!!! Well, I am Catholic you know!) I'd say 23 or 24.

Salad
What is the most exciting event you've ever witnessed? my friend andreas (mentioned above)birth. Well, the birth of her son. He came out and I started shaking & crying. He is a five year/clomid baby so it was super exciting. And her labor/birth were awesome.
Main Course
If you were a celebrity, what would you do for a publicity stunt? I am so glad im not a celebrity. (answer - i dont know. too much thinking for early in the morning)

What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child? hehe 19. No, I think older 20s is probably good. I missed out on a lot doing the 19 thing. But oh well.
(a) My significant other
(b) Does it have to be ancient? I want to pick Paris.
(c) This is a tough one, so I'll skip it.
(d) Do Katrina relief work in Houston.
(e) 26
Easiest person: My sister. The long distance keeps us close and we manage to avoid the petty disputes.
Ancient City: Um....(gosh...even with the bad plumbing and lack of sanitation? Um...still thinking...)I guess maybe someplace in Greece, after it was safe to be a Christian.
Event: On TV, 9/11 and the recent Papal election. In person, childbirth, all four times.
Celeb stunt: Give away all my money and enter a convent. But it wouldn't be a stunt. It'd be real!
Best age: Early 20's. The body's fairly cooperative then. It's later when things start to rust out - trust me.
1. Mostly everyone :o)
2. Ancient, huh? I am such a creature of comfort all of the ancient cities seem so...messy. But if I could be a Princess I'll go to London :o)
3. My friend's childbirths.
4. I would marry Brad Pitt. he he he
5. I guess...the early 20's...then you can fit in lots and lots ;o)

easiest? at the risk of sounding incredibly cheesy, my answer is God. i can cry, laugh, complain, or even yell at Him and He still loves me. that's the best.
ancient city? yuck. three words: central air conditioning.
exciting event? the births of my children.
publicity stunt? go into seclusion.
ideal age for 1st? 23 is a nice round healthy number.
#1 My wife. My late step-dad.
#2 Constantinople would be neat I think. Or maybe Athens during the time of Aristotle. Maybe Jerusalem just to see what Christ had to deal with.
#3 Meeting JP2 and holding his hand in Rome. Seeing my sons born.
#4 If I were a non-catholic, I'd convert publicly and go to Medjugorje or something. Donate my money or time to Development and Peace charity. Or have a debate between myself and Tom Cruise on how Scientology is crap (Mel Gibson would hold my cue-cards).
#5 Between 20 and 25 with the first. Just mature enough to handle it, and it's a much needed maturity-booster for young people who think they're "all that and-a-bag-of-chips".
Person to talk to: my husband.
Ancient city: Bethlehem...because it's "height of quality of its society and culture" must have been the night Christ was born and the angels sang from heaven.
Exciting event witnessed: baptisms of my kids (birth was awesome, too, but I was a participant in those events, not just witness)
Celebrity publicity stunt: whenever I was faced with paparazzi, I would just pull somebody out of the crowd at random and find out what makes them special. Everybody has something worth publicity.
Ideal age to have first child: whenever a couple is in a holy, life-long commitment and are willing to stop being children themselves.
