    Default Trying to hold it together!!!!

    Just waiting for my eldest 2 to get home, have picked up my 1 son and off to get my youngest from his last day at playgroup, i'm struggling not to get all emotional about it. It's an end of the baby stage for my youngest as he's off to school in september and am taking the tissues with me!!!!!!

    Should of had another baby but i'm too old now,or am I at 42?

    I've just been to my oldest's primary school leavers assembly and I cried all the way through it. It's so hard when your littlun's grow up. He's so excited about starting senior school in September and I'm just a heap of jelly lol

    No! It's not too old, my mum had me at that age...I'm ever so glad she did!

    There's a program on next thursday about (much) older mums.

    I bubbled when my oldest had her leavers assembly too, but I feel to old to start again and I'm 40. Couldn't do with sleepless nights.

    I'm 38, my youngest is 6 and the thought of having a baby again horrifies me...am I too old, no way, I'm just enjoying them growing up.

    Mmm maybe, sometimes yes,othertimes when i'm tired no. But I feel guilty looking after other peoples and think I should have another but enjoy the money and wouldn't be able to work and be pregnant as I suffer from hyperemisis. I'm waffling!!! My mind says yes, my body probably no!!! perhaps I should just except that my baby is growing up.

    it is hard. my baby is starting juniors in sept. I would love another and I'm 41 but know really can't spread myself that thinly with work and my own two and money.

    If I won the lottery tomorrow hubby would have reversal and me have at least 2 more like a shot!
