again. An ungainly question I know, but I have met a number(prime number I think) of parents through my kids sports programs who have remarried and are now having children, nine years apart( My children are nine). One of my son's teammates(football, entering 4th grade) has a mother(don't we all) who is expecting the birth of his sister in October. Would you go it all through again? I am a guy, and I would not. Been there done that.

When I met my husband fifteen years ago, I had children, he did not. However, my first husband and I had not wanted any more children, so I had tubal ligation. Before my second husband (who had not kids) and I got married, we discussed this subject and he was all right with the situation. Over a fifteen year period, he never expressed the desire for us to have a child except for once, and it did not become an issue. But my answer is yes, I would have gladly had a child for him if it had been possible. I loved him very much and would have been proud to have carried, borne and raised a child for him. That's what love is all about. And our love would have spread to the child we never had.

I see quite a lot of that.....older men mostly (over 50's) with a young wife and a young baby in tow.
I just don't get it. Certainly the wife wants a child for many different reasons.
They love the guy and want his child, the need to be fulfilled, etc, etc.
The man......he may show his prowess (see what I can still do)....he may want to please his bride. They may be much more relaxed as older dads, but can they keep up with their sons or daughters as they grow.
Not sure if any of them ever think of the children, that one or both parents may not be around to see them grow up.
Babies should have young parents, not parents in their 40's, 50's and 60's. That is not how nature intended it to be.

No, I have 3 and my husband of 14 years has none. We both made sure before we were married that neither of us wanted any more[ or in his case none!] We have a very good life. At first his family bugged us but we stood our ground.

I'm still up in the air about wether I would want another child.
If I was to get married and my husband wanted another child, I think I would have another one.
