[quote=Anonymous]I'm over 50 and have four kids. I chose to have the third pregnancy because I didn't think my family was complete with two kids. I had a surprise set of twins. I am not friends with any of my children. I'm their mother. Someday, when they are out of college, probably, we will be friends. For now, I'm the person who tells them to practice, do their homework and chores, go to bed, drives them places, etc. I don't have time to become their best friend. It's pretty much impossible to have a close relationship with your middle and high schooler. I doubt if it's healthy. They need to separate from you so they can become themselves. Sometimes its painful. It's going to be painful with one child or six children. My advice: if you want a third child, go for it, OP. But don't expect the close relationships you have with a 6 year old and a 3 year old are going to stay that way for life. They won't. [/quote]
