mama2cntrykids Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 The other thread got me thinking. My dh will be 46 this summer and our baby just turned 1 year old. I'm really feel done and have peace with it. So does my dh. He doesn't want any more, mainly b/c of age and I don't blame him one bit. I'm sure there are other mama's out there with babies/toddlers and older dh's...:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UmMusa Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) 37 when the last one was born. Age is a factor in our feeling done, but God knows best. Edited June 13, 2012 by UmMusa Miscalculated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabelen Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) My dh was 46 when we had our last one. He was happy when he found out but we also agreed no more for us. ETA: I had just turned 40 and felt that was the cut off for me personally. Edited June 13, 2012 by Mabelen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dh was 34, same as me. I was right on the verge of advanced maternal age :glare:, not a very complimentary term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edelweiss Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Our last child was born when I was 34 and DH was almost 36. I already worry that DH and/or I won't live to see our children reach adulthood, so I don't think my heart could have taken it to have them any older.

ssavings Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 DH was 28 when DD (baby) was born, and she'll be 1 at the end of the end of the summer. We're likely done (always wanted 4), but there's always a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 He was 29, I was 28. We were each just shy of 23 and 24 with our older son so we are looking forwards to some small kid free years while we are still pretty young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My DH was 41 yrs old and felt done. He's 11 years older than me so I was only 30. I didn't feel done but had no choice. It's nice when you both feel at peace about a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhomemaker Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was 32 when I had little dd. Dh was 35. If we have another one, I would like it to be before I turn 35. So I guess we don't have too long to make that decision. Of course I always said I didn't want to have kids in my 30s, and that obviously didn't work out so who knows!

BarbecueMom Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 DH was 24 when our second DS was born three years ago. I was 26. Due to a variety of reasons, we think we're done.

Kirch Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dh will be 35 when this one is born, but I'm not 100% sure this will be the last. I'm leaning that way right now, but that's partly because I'm still "enjoying" morning sickness! :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommee & Baba Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Our last was when dh 39. We both are done. However I've had some baby addition thoughts. Shockingly because I'm certain I'm done. However dh's age & small car stops us from extending our family. I'm ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My husband was 45 when our last was born. The thing that made me think hard about another one a few years later was calculating how old he would be when the kids hit the grumpy puberty stage and when he's teaching our youngest to drive. Of course, they're not deal breakers in and of themselves, but having 4 kids go through high school and early college stage - it is DRAINING. Babies are fun and they do keep you young, but they grow up. Raising them to adulthood is a hard (and often thankless) job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara in AZ Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 We're probably done, though I could be convinced for another. DH was 39 and feels very strongly about not wanting to be an old dad. We just finished up a very stressful time of dealing with end of life care for his dad (who was 42 when he was born) while at the same time managing a new born. He doesn't want his own kids to go through that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&M Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Dh and I were both 40 when our last dd was born. We lost one after that and dh would have been 43. He would still love to have more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
