MSE Parents Club Part 10

Sami - DH isn't really concerned about being an older dad with a baby. His eldest 2 are 17 and almost 15. They live with their mum and come once a week, the 15yo comes twice. We're expecting the frequency to drop as they get older/go out with friends/boyfriends etc. They've already offered babysitting services for Caitlyn! As for energy, I think he's got more than me! His job is fairly active, and he's quite young at heart. Blimey I'm making him sound like a pensioner already!

I suppose the weird bit is that my mum was his age (46) when I had Josh! But because we're husband/wife I don;t really see his age in that way? Hard to explain! I always class him as the generation below my mum and dad, even though he's only 8 years younger than my mum.

I think the average age gap is supposed to be around four years.

My OH is 42, I'd say he left it too late, to stuck in his ways! I've found the opposite, I'm a much better Mummy now, much more laid back and knowing she's my last everything else can wait!

Ive never tried medised to help the littel ones sleep will have to get some and see if it helps on occasion. Doctors used to give me something called Phenergan its a sedative/ travel sickness medicine they used to prescribe it whenever they were ill so they would sleep better not sure if you can use it on young babaies though :-)

I had Phenergan for a few days when I was pregnant (for the sickness) and it made me sleep nearly all the time.

I agree mostly, but some things are part of their being after 42yrs of acting the same way, so they might want to change but can't! :cool:

13 years between OH and I. He doesn't want to be an older dad, but it is mainly based on me, when we have babies. I don't think he'd ever refuse, at least I hope not
