while it is a general opinion that – Most of the teens and youngsters are still afraid of getting into a family life as they think it is of more responsibility, commitments and dependency, the recent research has proved that “Having a family tops having a successful career in Briton’s top 10 life list”
Generally, I feel, the more younger you are (when your children are in their late 20’s), the less would be burden you leave on them when you get older and ofcourse the less will the be the burden on you as well as te children would be in a position to look after their economy and they living essentials. For that you don’t have to be 30 when your first child is 20 though 🙂 that would be too much burden on both then … 🙂
British men and women today have ranked having a family at no. 2 of their top 10 life list, demonstrating that such values are of greater importance to them than having a successful career or owning a dream home. Women hope to achieve this my the age of 28 (55 per cent), whilst men would prefer to wait a little longer until they are 30 (45 per cent).
It has also been revealed that the average British woman will feel happier at 37 than any other age; with over half of women (58 per cent) revealing that having a stable relationship with their partner is vital to their contentment. Having more time to spend with family and friends (57 per cent) is also a contributing factor to women’s happiness, whilst men are more motivated by financial security (49 per cent) and job satisfaction (38 per cent).
British women consider their teenage years as their unhappiest life period (27 per cent) due to a lack of independence (26 per cent), an unstable relationship with a partner (25 per cent) and doubts over financial security (37 per cent). One in three women (31 per cent) is unhappiest at this age due to insecurities over their looks and body shape.
