[quote=Anonymous]About to be 42 with a 6 and 3 year old and we decided last year that we're completely done, even though we thought we would have three. We have a few great examples of older parents in our extended family who managed kids to adulthood just fine, as well as friends our age who are pregnant or have newborns. To be honest, those examples didn't factor heavily in our decision-making. I'm risk-averse and prone to anxiety and I simply didn't see myself managing my mental health well through another round of conceiving, prenatal testing, and pregnancy. I also thought - well, we're doing a great job managing the two we have, what if going for a third jeopardizes that in any way? I probably would have had all these considerations regardless of my age, but my age intensified it for sure. Ultimately we're not three kid people and I have a bit of relief over finally determining that.[/quote]
