[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For background: got pregnant at 42. Found the post-partum period challenging, and our DC was sick with several ear infections and never slept. My desire to have another child was non-existent. By the time DC was about 4, I figured it was too late (late 40s). Now at 50 with an 8 year old, I feel regret. My DC recently visited relatives and I was sent a photo of DC playing with an infant, and felt enormous remorse. My child often says he's lonely. Have we made a big mistake?[/quote] when do you think you made the mistake - when you didn't try for a second in mid-fourties? it is very possible that you would have been unsuccessful but spend loads of money and risk your health. it is what it is. i have 3 kids and there are some advantages to being an only. kids ask for siblings all the time but that doesn't mean they understand what that means and that they would want them if they understood it. it's all moot point now.[/quote]
