[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] :mrgreen:My wife had her 3rd at 41, and her second at 37.  It was fine for a while, but now that they're in MS and HS, we're HATING LIFE!!!.   We're in our 50's and we should be free to travel and pick up and go as we please, but no, everything revolves around there school, sports, and social life.  I wish I could give them away....I kid. Take it for FWIW, HAVE [b]all [/b]YOUR KIDS WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG!!! :-)  BTW, our first is 32...lol...huge gap..[/quote]

Why did you wait so long to have #2 and #3?[/quote]

We had #1 when we were in college, and put a growing family on hold wanting to get our careers off the ground. After many years passed we decided one kid was enough. Once he was older and we moved into a 6 bedroom house, hubby decided that he wanted to hear the pitter patter of lil feet running around.  :shock: So we started trying,  my OB at that time told me I would never have any kids due to fibroids and I should have a hysterectomy.   Well we changed docs, kept trying, and to the surprise of our currend doc had this beautiful miracle baby.  Not wanting to have an only child, we tried again in a couple years, got pregnant and miscarried. This didn't stop us so we tried again and had #3. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death, I just I wish I had the energy when I was in my 30's.  I'm always tired, can't get enough rest, find time to exercise, no social life, no me time - it's all about the kids. [/quote]
