[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids?  People are having kids much later in life especially if they have careers.  Your grandkids may still be coming but you need to give it some time.  Until all your kids have either said "we're not having kids" or reach mid to late 40s I wouldn't rule it out.  [/quote]

ages 33 (she's married) and 31 - have said no kids
age 34 - she is not dating and doesn't want to but does talk about children at some point.  Thinking about freezing eggs but has no money to do it. She just bought a house. 
age 35 - he would like to be in a relationship and have kids but it doesn't appear to be happening, or at least it is casually.

so I guess it  COULD happen later, but I think the odds are not good. [/quote]

that's 3 kids, not 4.  what about the 4th?[/quote]

If you can afford to pay for freezing eggs, do it.  My friend did this for her 22-year old daughter.  That may sound crazy, but we were raised LDS and she raised her daughter LDS, and one big complaint among our generation of women raised LDS is that many rushed to get married and have babies out of fear, so she gave her daughters the gift of time so she could enjoy her twenties and thirties and date and find the right person without the pressure of ticking biological clock.  I am inspired to do the same for my daughters![/quote]

I thought it was the whole "purity culture" thing.  20 year olds want to have sex.  When they've been shamed to think they are ruined if they do that outside of marriage, well, they get married.  [/quote]
