[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too old. Enjoy the kids you have. I say this as a 44 year old with two tweens.i feel like I’ve aged ten years in the past year.[/quote]
I’m 41 with 2 tweens and I agree. They take A LOT of energy right now. I can’t imagine also having a baby/toddler too. Someone would get short changed for sure.[/quote]

But you have no idea what that would mean. I would’ve loved less of my moms attention at that age. Also, there is a long life ahead of these kids. My sisters and I and my parents are all still really close at 40-plus. I love having a big family and having them. Sometimes more kids means more love and more fun and the right kind of attention. It’s so individual, personal experiences really have no bearing on it. Is 20 too young to have a baby? For some people, yes indeed. Is 5 too many kids? Not for some people. I mean, these are not rules. In prior generations it was super common to have a right before menopause late baby. Not weird, not strange just a thing. If you want one, have one. We are trying right now for a 3rd at 41 and we have the means, the help, etc. I’m not asking random internet strangers what they think because at the end of the day - who cares? [/quote]

But OP IS asking random internet strangers. [/quote]
