By what age did you know whether you wanted kids or not?

r/

I know there typically isn’t a set age for people to know these things, some have always envisioned having them but some figure it out in their late 20s etc.
I want to know what the people here think is the age a man SHOULD know the answer by, as in someone who doesn’t waste a woman’s time would know their answer by say 28 or a different age range. I appreciate any explanations for how you arrive at your answer too

    24, was with a long term partner at the time, was stable with income on both sides and we even talk baby names , the relationship ended 6 months later due to her having another mental breakdown and wanting some space, but I would say 24 is when I first had the idea about having children

    There is know age when you “should” know, as it varies massively on your life, where you are, your experiences etc. I was about 24 when I thought it be nice to find a nice woman to settle down with and had children at 30. She wanted children earlier but I wouldn’t do it until we bought a house.
