[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many (most? all?) of the PPs who are saying “go for it” skipped over the part where you have a 15yo already.

I have a teen and I totally understand the desire to go back to the period when you had a sweet little nugget who didn’t talk back. And I get that you’re staring down the empty nest years and looking for a project.

But seriously, just remodel the kitchen or get a puppy like everyone else. Your teen NEEDS you right now. She needs you present, rested, able to carpool and eavesdrop, able to listen whenever she starts talking (which will be at the most inconvenient times). She does not need to feel like she’s being replaced by a smaller, cuter model.

This is not a good idea for your family as a whole. Adopt a pet, volunteer, wait for grandchildren. [/quote]

I find the idea of having children Just because someone wants a cute baby to be irrational. That baby is going to grow up and be one of those annoying teenagers everyone complains about on DCUM. [/quote]
