To wonder if you would start a new family

[greengrasslfwhome]

If you had your children very young, so that they were grown up in your mid thirties, would you start again and have a new family if you met a decent man?

Omg, no. It would be like living in Groundhog Day.

I'm in the middle of a divorce OP, and I often think about this. I have three dcs, had my first child at 22 and last child at 26. I'm 28 now, because I had children young I've never been able to do the things I've wanted. Go to university, travel etc. Hopefully these are things I'll be able to do in my 30s. But on the other hand I always wanted to have a fourth child, I think deep down it's because I want to do it "right" next time around, with a different man because my ex was useless.

But because I had my children so young, they will all be adults when I'm in my early 40s, so still young to do everything I want. Things I was never able to do in my 20s, I also realised that if I had another child in my late 30s I would be late 50s early 60s by the time baby no 4 is an adult. So I'd feel like I've spent nearly my whole life raising kids, and that's not what I want. So I'm sticking to three.

This is just my personal opinion btw, do what's best for you.
