Done with having children?

Oh no..my hubby does split the child rearing with me...iam tired because I work all day and come home without resting becaus emy hubby's work is 2 hours away so he doesn't get home until like 630 at the earliest. Those 2.5 hours after work are the hardest part of the day because I just want to rest from teaching all day but my daughter needs help with homework, my 3 year old is cranky and clingy, and dinner needs to be cooked.

I just have no desire to go thru the baby stages again.

So by saying that.. The issue of not having anymore children needs to be discussed among both parties.

Since time has changed somewhat.... The roles needs to be discussed beforehand.

Women are just as career oriented as men nowadays.

I am not yet done and I am in mid 40'sh. I am expecting second baby and shall see what happens afterwards.
 
A few years after my cousin's first baby, I kept asking, "So, when are you gonna give me another cousin?" and she'd look at me and laugh. Lo and behold, she ended up having another kid not a year later!

I'm only 19 so I'm quite happy with my -2 children :)
 
My mom always told me not to have any more babies so we can enjoy our freedom when we r in our 40s but I had my son at 33 so looks like that's not gonna happen. Maybe in our 50s, we will be free...lol
 
The way I see it, as long as you and your husband can agree on it, then it isn't anyone else's business. The two of you are the ones that will be raising another child, and only the two of you know whether you want to go through all of that again. People can be too nosy sometimes.

I had my son at 31, and there are advantages and disadvantages. One advantage was being more mature and settled. Disadvantge was energy levels.:giggle: I have relatives that kept having kids into their 40's though. But that wasn't something I wanted to do. Plus, they had older kids to help out a lot.

If I had more kids after my son, I probably would never have gone back to school. I figured, stop after him, make sure that I had the time and energy to devote to him and his needs, then once he is basically on his own, I would still be young enough to do something for me.
 
I have one son, but I'm actually thinking of another because he is getting way to self centered LOL Although I don't really want another.
