[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing, OP - Do you think you would ever really feel like you were done? I have five kids and for several years after my youngest was born, I felt like I wanted another. My blood pressure went up with my last pregnancy and never came down, so another baby would have been dangerous. Had that not been the case, we might have had one more. I was only 34 when my fifth was born. I think some of us just really feel that strong biological desire for kids more than others. I'm not sure I ever would have really felt done. (I definitely would have stopped at 6 for financial reasons.) I am 50 now and have two grandbabies. Our kids are all out if the house except for one high school senior. I cannot imagine what life would be like with a young child. The desire to have another slowly faded as our youngest got older. I absolutely loved having a houseful of kids, but I'm also really happy in this new stage of life. [/quote]
