[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, given that the OP is 33 and wants 3 kids - I would just drop the idea of the program and start a family now. This is from someone who had her first after having establishing her career at 35 - but my career at that point was well established and I could afford to take plenty of time and enjoy the kids (eventually 3 of them - though we both had not initially planned on more than 1, which is why we had felt comfortable waiting). Once OP finishes her program at 36, she'll want to get started in what sounds like a tough job, while at the same time having 3 kids in 3 or 4 years (??? Quite a feat in your 20's). It simply isn't plausible. Also, postponing the start of the career until 3 kids are out of diapers/toddlerhood (as the OP doesn't like daycare/nannies) would mean starting in her 40's. Also not great. If family were a priority, it would be best to work as a nurse in a family friendly environment and get started now, as it looks like money is not an issue.
My guess? The OP will give priority to her career, and maybe end up with 1 kid in her late 30s. THAT is the discussion she should be having with her husband NOW. Will he be happy if that is the outcome?[/quote]

Op here. I will be 35 when I graduate, not 36. I am honestly fine with having 1-2 kids. We plan to start in a year. I may be in a new marriage, but from reading on here, some of you are married 10+ years without a solid marriage. I will take my chances. I will not let anyone force me into something as major as having a child before I am ready.[/quote]
