Oh, my kids are not a burden now (teens). But they sure as hell are a drain on everything when they are small.
This is where I am at. Things are good right now. Kids are pretty self suficient. But I know my wife is younger and still has that maternal yearning
That feeling is there seeing other people kids because it doesn't seem that hard. Having to live with that 24-7 is really difficult especially if you haven't been in it for quite some time. Plus like you said earlier, it postpones the post-kid life for another 18 (or more) years. It's not just the initial up front difficulty. It postpones the back end plans for a long duration as well.
Right there with you brotherYou know who else thought it wasn't such a big deal to have a kid after 40? This stupid son of a beach. Guess what happened?
TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Run, dude.....run as far and as fast away as you can. Now. Don't look back, just run and keep running until you can't run no more.
That's what most married couples say, regardless of age.
True. Its just very different. I had a child at 25 and two over 40. More patience, more money over 40. More energy under. I find myself just wanting to do my own thing over 40 more than i did when i was younger.
your wife is still young enough where it's not a problem physically for her or the baby.
I had twins at age 35...damn near killed me. They are two now so things are better, but holy hell....You know who else thought it wasn't such a big deal to have a kid after 40? This stupid son of a beach. Guess what happened?

FWIW...guys with small penises, or women with big ######s, typically have girls. Adjust accordingly
...44 yr old with 13,10 (boys) & an 8 yr old (girl/"matriarch")...but would like to have another. I truly believe my brood of three have expanded my life expectancy. I don't understand my propensity/desire for more children, considering I come from an Italian/Irish Catholic family...
) used to ask me if we were going to try for a boy. Hell no!!! I'm just happy to have two healthy kids and had no desire to add a third so late in the game.
I said the same thing. It's not fair for the kid to have a dad as old as a grandpa. And I told my wife, you can't predict our future health. I don't want to leave her and the kid to grow up without a dad
I used to think the same thing until we had Riley. Our son was an only child for 7 years and things became easy. I was very nervous about starting all over again but Ill tell you it was the best decision ever. The good FAR outweighs the bad. I would give anything to have those sleepless nights right now.
I am not saying that it is bad. I am just saying based on my current lifestyle I wouldn't want to change it to have another kid. It is not easy, but if it's something you want to do it is accepted and you do it. For me I would rather not have to start over with a baby at this point in my life. I am glad it worked out for you.
for the responses and your ultimate decision.
