[quote=Anonymous]I’m a single mom by choice. I’ve seen several other SMBCs get baby fever for baby number two and they jeopardized their existing family stability to do it. And for one of them the walls caved in and they wound up broke and homeless. If you really feel the need to add to,your family at this age, it’s a conversation you would want to have with your current child - do they want to be part of a larger family? If you are both sure this is a good thing, then I would strongly recommend fostering. Don’t do the baby thing again. Add an older child to your family. At this point, that’s the only thing I would consider with my tween. Being an SMBC means no backup, no weekends off when your older child is with dad, no money coming in, so no deciding to go part time when a crisis comes up. You have a child. Don’t jeopardize your current child because you think babies are fun in your forties.[/quote]
