AIBU to think that 35 is too old...

[teeththief]

...have another baby?

Sorry to read that teeth.

If i was you i'd report this thread to MNHQ and tell them you're sick of having your nose rubbed in it it re-animated every few months and can it be locked.

Where's the Zombie alert?!

I have asked MNHQ what they think.

If you google "mumsnet aibu" this thread always comes up - that's why it never dies. Sorry teeth

For me I feel too old now at 35 BUT a lot of that is down to being so much over the baby stage as mine are 11, 9 and 6 now. If I was to fall pregnant I wouldn't change it but I wouldn't choose it. If my youngest was only 3/4 rather than 6 I think it would bother me less. I didn't want a big age gap. We planned 3 kids with a 2-3 year age gap in our twenties and that's what we were blessed with. I feel my family is complete.

Gaah didn't realise it was a zombie. Sorry to hear that Teeth.

Maybe MNHQ could move this thread somewhere else? Must be hard on teeth.

Really sorry for your losses.

YABU

massively. In fact I think it's common to have kids at or over 35 nowadays!!

I will ask again

I didn't start until I was 37...

The fact that your 7 year old is "desperate" for a new baby in the family shouldn't be factored into the decision in any shape or form, op.

Oh shit. Zombie...

Well if 35 is too old my great grand mother, grandmother, mother, me and daughter would not exist. Why would it be too old?

I suggest being either an old mother or a young mother but not both - you need either your 30s or your 40s to yourself.

Having kids all your life is bad for the environment and your career.

I have tried OP. I'm sorry.

Hi folks. We're going to close this thread to new messages now as it keeps getting bumped and we agree that might be pretty upsetting for the OP. Sorry again for your losses, TeethThief.
