OP- If you want a baby, why not book an appointment with your doctor and go and discuss it, rather than having statics and generalisations. They could give you specfic advise relivant to you.

absolutely fine as kids are mid-morning! Just eaten a big omelette- will see if he keeps it down. Has missed today's sats, but I spoke to school sec about this this am and she said he can re-sit a different day. He can't go in for the pm session as it's a 24 hr keep them off if they've vomited school policy.

I don't think marriage comes into it. A baby is much more of a commitment than a ring on my finger.

I don't agree with this at all.
Having a baby is a commitment to the baby not the other person. They can easily walk away so you make your commitment to the child involved.
Marriage is a commitment to your partner.

This is interesting.Do you think people with young children do not enjoy life then?????????? and do not get out and about??????? It hasn't stopped us.Has it stopped you?

Poppy of course they can enjoy life, but as the children become teenagers and older then the parents gain more freedom to do their own thing. Mine are in their 20's, so I do have a relevant opinion.

OK, us Cougars are all the rage apparently
I am one. I have a much younger boyfriend.
He is 32 and I am 44 and we love each other to bits
Sadly, I am too old for a baby now. He doesn't have any children and wants one.
I have children already
I would love to give him a child. I have read about older mothers but feel it's too risky at my age, for me and the baby
Anyone else in this situation? Part of me wants to go ahead and try for a baby
But part of me says "No, I have done my bit and it's not safe"
I feel him being with me, is robbing him of the chance of a family life

just depends on your lifestyle my wife has just had my son at 47 everything is perfect :rotfl:

Spendless. Glad he is ok. isnt it funny how they can be quite ill and get you all worried and then seem to perk up quickly!I once got told off by the school for sending my son in the next day after he had been sick!!

Its good that he can do his sats another day, the kids do so much hard work to prepare for these, it would have been a shame for him to miss out because of
not being well.

Zartub Many Congratulations!! You sound well pleased.

Of course you do NAR is just that it sounded a bit like people who have kids don't enjoy their life and dont get out much and can't wait for them to be offhand.Personally having my children has not made me feel that way and not stopped me from doing anything I have wanted to do.In some ways I actually miss my children being young and doing fun things with them.I love doing things with my step-grandson and look forward to having grandchildren from my own kids.My kids are now at the age where they don't want to be with us anyway.The only difference to me is that when they are older we will just be making plans for us not including the kids.I don't need any more freedom than I have already so obviously not everyone feels the same way.
