[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will be 60ish when the first is just leaving for college.  Ouch. [/quote]

I have never quite understood this argument.  Who cares??  Do you live your life counting down the days until your kids leave?  Is 60 ancient??  What does this argument even mean?[/quote]

DP  I suppose the argument is that if you have your kids earlier than you can enjoy traveling and grandchildren when you are young to do both well.  My MIL was a grandmother at 51 and she had much more energy with the first grandchild than when she was in her 60s.  To be sure, I don't think op should make a decision based on this reason only.

Op,
If you and your husband changed your mind try to have one baby.  See how that goes.  I'm assuming that your siblings have children?  So at least they will have cousins if you decide to only have one.

Drop your fantasy of being a perfect parent having a perfect child.  We are all flawed and your child is not a mini you or your DH.  They are their own person and should get to live the life that they want ( within reason of course!)  Every family also has addicts in their family tree.  Good and bad people too!

Good luck![/quote]
