Good Parenting that produces responsible productive members of society is the only marker for good parenting at any age.
It doesn't matter your age or your partners age. What matters is a parent that puts your children first, teaches the children values, how to get along with people and gives them the skills they need for adulthood. It sounds to me like you are a great parent, how do I know this? You are worried about it which means you love your children. One of the most important steps to raising children with good values is loving them, it teaches them what love is and that love is unconditional and they can be secure in this knowledge.
Bad parents aren't worried about being good parents because they don't care!

Of corse age matters, to some extent. I feel with my experience working with children and families, older moms tend to be far more particular and fussy over the small things than young moms. Older moms want to count the ounces thier child drinks, Wake them up every two hours for feedings and follow the books they have read to a T. Young mothers are more intuative and let mothering come natural.
On the other hand, Older mothers arnt flaunting themselves at the bars Fri-Sun. They usually are more stable monitarily and have better insurance coverage.
As far as the dad- well, most dads are just playtime friends anyway. Enjoy your babies!

I think it does not matter since you do believe that you two are great parents.. If you can support your children very well and you were able to provide their needs, maybe having another child will not be a problem.. Being a parent, no matter how old or young you are, will not affect your management to your kids as long as you like being with them and enjoying the challenges that comes your way in terms of parenting... Good Luck!

I think you have the best of both worlds...You are young and your spouse is a bit older. They say the older you get the more patient and financially stable you are...and the pro to you your age is that you have the energy and fresh ideas. The only problems you too may run into is parenting styles as you are from 2 different generation gaps. You may want to make sure you will be on the same page as the kids get older. : )

For someone who is 45 years old, it most certainly makes a difference. Don't have anymore children. Your 3-year old in ten years will be very active - your husband will be 55-years old by then, can he still keep-up. Is he physically fit now and will be in 10-20 years? Now if both the children are girls, you are looking at a totally different scenario! Look more at the age difference between you and your partner. That is where the problems will be in raising the children. His maturity, your immaturity. There are many good books on the subject, start reading and stop asking. Good Luck...

no one can tell you if you have enough children. its all up to and your partner...if you're not stressed out mentally, physically or financially then go for it!!! 2 children isn't alot...you are young now..if you are going to have anymore i suggest you get it out of the way before you get much older, your body changes as you get older..if you wait too long the pregnancy can be more exhausting on you physically and mentally. then too, the younger you have them the younger you will when they are all grown up..children are a blessing, being able to conceive is a blessing..if your home life is good then no matter what anyone else says..do what makes you all happy.

That is up to you and your partner. If you two want more children, then have more children. I have two children (one living on his own and a 14 year old). Two was enough for me...they kept me hopping.

It matters for the woman because after 30 fertility goes down. And then, as we get older we don't feel like playing as much, we are tired. But sounds like you and your husband are going to do great.

the only time age matters is if the mother is over thirty and you have to think about down syndrome and other things like that.
