Sorry for posting again but the thread title went wrong! So here it is again as I am desperate for opinions!
My best friend is pregnant at age 39 - hurrah! Her partner is in his early 40's.
She is adamant that the baby will have to fit around their lives, and that the new baby will not be the focus of their lives, just a great "add-on"! I think she feels like this partly because she feels I have been too focused on my child (who is now 7) and not enough on myself or on the rest of my life - as if I have sacrificed too much.
But is it really possible to have a child and not really break step, just to carry on as before but with 1 extra around? Obviously my bf and her partner are very used to a child free existence and have been for a long time...are they right in thinking it is possible to have a child and carry on much as before?

Opinions please - is it possible to become a parent without hardly breaking stride?
