Hi everyone,
I wasnt really sure where to put this thread so started in the general parenting but didnt get alot of responses...so Im reposting here. Im wondering if any of you will be help me with your wordly advice:)
Not really sure if this is the appropriate place for this thread, but I'm hoping some of you may have experience with this! Just in a bit of a dilemma, and not sure how to move forward. Hoping some of you may have some advice/experience with similar setup.
My DP and I are thinking about having a baby, he's 45, I'm 38. We have 3 DDs between us, youngest 16 which is my DD, plus one 18 and eldest 22, his. Which are my SDs. We are happy, secure, and enjoy our lives as they are. I had my DD relatively young, 22, and was a stressful experience with little/no support from ex-boyf. My DP is divorced, happy to have another but no big urge for him. Happy either way. All my friends now have small children. I'm feeling like I'm missing out a bit and want to be able to do things with them, and have positive happy time with a baby with my DP, and DDs. But at same time I'm a bit torn in that I know how hard it is, I enjoy my freedom now. Anyone on here in similar situations, with baby, without, with older kids. Any tips/advice on how it works?
