My only child is almost 18. I just turned 36, my husband just turned 44. His daughter is 26, his son is 22. We've been married a little over 2 years. Lately we've had people asking if we're going to have a baby together. At first I was like, "No, absolutely not." But lately I've been feeling like maybe we should. There was a time when I was really wanting a little girl. Now, that urge is coming back.
The thing is, my husband feels as if we're too old. His parents were in their early 40's when they had him, and his mom died while he was still a baby, his dad died when he was in his early twenties. He says he wouldn't want to put his child through that.
I would never intentionally get pregnant without his approval, but if I did by some chance get pregnant, I would be really happy. I think once he got used to the idea, he would be too.
What do ya'll think? Are we too old?
had my last one at 29. my factory is closed.
Had my last one just after I turned 30. I think the only person who can answer the question of whether you're too old to have children is you. I am too old to have any more children in my family, but my sister in law just had her first and she's 36, so really, it just depends on you and what you want. You are still within your childbearing years and in a stable relationship...if you want to and so does your dh, go for it.
I had my first son when I was 15 he'll be 18 this year my second son when I was 24 he'll be turning 9. We plan to try at the end of the year my cut off will be 35. Hopefully it'll be a girl I don't want to raise anymore boys. My DH already a son plus my 2 boys I'm surrounded by men.
Tattoo question....
