I’m also 46 with a 19 yo and 15 yo and hell no I don’t want another baby. PP embrace having older kids and the freedoms that come with that. |
PP here. You are right, deep down I know I couldn't handle diapers and nap time again, and I would not want to be chasing around a toddler at my age. I just have nostalgia for their sweet faces and much better attitudes back then! Teen grumpiness, homework battles, looming college costs...I know those would all come eventually with another baby! |

me too. I would Never open them, but recently started to. I have to move on and embrace where I am now, with (almost) 4 adult children!!!! |
This is ridiculous to even think about as your body at 46 is NOT conceiving a baby either way |
Not true - seen it happen a bunch of times. 46 not that old ppl |
Op it is not too old. The only reasons not to if you want to are bc you think you’ll die when they are in their 40s and that’s not ok, or bc you are concerned about risks of preterm labor. I would not be concerned about other things bc cvs etc is avail. Personally I worry about energy and money in addition to the above or I would do it |
With IVF maybe. It’s not happening because you decided to try. |
Yes. I have a four year old who has lost the sweet baby fat and whose tiny voice is changing too. I miss the long naps she’d take on top of me and her soft fuzzy baby head…. But it’s also SO nice I can ask her to go fetch me a Lacroix and she runs off with a smile to complete the task yelling over her shoulder “Ok, mommy! Lime or pamplemousse?” I’m both excited for and dread each birthday. Motherhood is a wild ride. |
What does triggered mean? |
What? My sibling born when my mom was 46 would disagree. Not common, but if course it happens. |
I found a way to do it in my Memories settings (go to Photos, then “For You,” then go through individual memories, click the three dots in the top right, then adjust using “feature less.” If there’s a different way to make these edits, please share it. Thanks. |
I totally hear ya. At best, it can serve as a reminder to appreciate the present. Like the 8-year-old with the shaggy haircut in front of me playing chess on my iPhone, surreptitiously picking his nose....I'll miss that one day. |
This! I would love so much to get a few days with my kids at their younger ages. |
Just don't teach your children about birth control and then you can be a grandmother! |
