not for me. lol

This is the major reason my wife and I decided to not have any (among other reasons), was our age when we got married. We didn't want to start with a newborn in our late 30's..

I have one daughter, I achieved perfection the first time, so I stopped!

She has been the true joy of my life, I call her my sunshine child.

Tick tac Toe, three in a row.... I have three girls, and that is more than enough for me.

She doesn't have much free time right now, she is in school full time and working full time as well. But, you will be pleased to hear that she finally settled on English as her major (minoring in anthropology.) She is focusing on lingustics.

She is also planning her wedding, so seriously not a lot of free time! But I think we will be hearing/reading a lot of great things in the future!

I have two. Always wanted 4 or 5. Didn't work out and I've accepted that now. Waiting for the grandkids.

I can understand that, I wouldn't want to do that either. Mine were born in my early/mid twenties. I will be able to enjoy some life here soon.

I was born in my parents late 30's, my brother in their early 40's. My father passed 10 years ago and my mother is in end stage alzheimers. I wish I had my parents longer. I will say that we were raised different than our three older sisters as they were more financially secure, probably more patient, but often our sisters took care of us which helped them out. Still, I wouldnt want to have kids that late.

Also, the health risks sky rocket for women as they get older. In particular once they get into their 40's. Mrs Dugger is a prime example.
