Dating Younger Guys & having kids
| Fri, 04-13-2007 - 12:14pm |
Reading the OLD Experiment thread someone brought up a really good (IMO) topic for a discussion. I'm 36 and have been divorced about 1 year. I have two kids - Daughter - 12 & Son 16; As far I'm concerned I'm done having kids. Even though I know I still have the option open to me for a few more years...
For the most part I've been meeting & dating

West, Moody & Shrimps all have a good point about bringing up the topic sooner than later. I'm just very gun shy cuz things are going sooooo well so far. But we haven't gotten into any really deep conversations yet. I'm having fun getting to know him and vice versa and I think
I'll play Devil's Advocat here. One is technically, with modern medicine, never too old to have another child. Heck, even without technical intervention, mother nature can throw you a big old surprise and you find yourself pregnant at 42, giving birth at 43- like me. I was sure I was done after my 2 boys, but I did not make it a permanent choice by any means. I realize now, that had I divorced my X when I was in my late 30's and met someone like M, I would have wanted to have another child with him. But we both agree that with 5 kids between the 2 of us, and D3 being so young, we don't want any more kids. D3 wears us both out.
QB- who at 46 is still waiting for some hot flashes or some sign her fertile years are finally ending
