[quote=Anonymous]We have a teen and a 5 year old. So we're in a very good place now. Both kids in school, home lives completely manageable, money to travel. But I'm nearing 40 so if there's a third, it really has to be now. Husband is not a fan of idea--he's been looking forward to "retirement" from the tough, sleep-deprived years. So I've tried to be content with what I have and see things his way. And yet, like a lot of other posters considering this step all over the web, I just feel someone is missing. Honestly, I'm petrified of anything going wrong with the third which is much more likely due to age. But I'm also scared of badly regretting a decision not to try. I don't think there's a wrong or right decision. Repercussions of bringing ANOTHER PERSON into the world might not be felt for 20, 30 years. You're not responsible for your kids for only 18 or 22 years. You often have to support them through grad school, if they lose their jobs, if their health fails or they have an addiction, pay for weddings, and more! You have responsibilities as a grandparent too, don't forget. It's a highly serious decision affecting the rest of your life, so you should think about that rather than just getting through the chaotic baby years. [/quote]
