How old is everyone on here, with how many children? Just to be a nosey cow.
Im 28 with 2 kids. I was chatting to a mum I know from nursery today and found out she's 32 with 4 kids. I had always hoped to have 4 kids because I always wanted a big family. Now that ive separated from my ex I cant really see that happening with anyone else.
If it did happen again, it would take a long time for me to be comfortable enough to have kids with someone else, and im just thinking I really don't know if I could be bothered to do it all again in my mid-30s or later. Not to mention the scaremongering against having kids beyond this age. If i did end up with only my 2, I would still remain overjoyed, as they do keep me very busy and are the light of my life. Equally, if I could have more, I most definitely would. I just love being a mum/motherhood.
Did anyone here have kids at a later age, and did it go smoothly (i.e. pregnancy and birth)? Or does anyone on here have kids with a large age gap, and if so, how has it played out I.e. sibling relationships?
There are 10 years between me and my older brother, and our relationship was always very poor (though for a number of other reasons, too). This also puts me off having more later in life.
