ETERNAL VIGILANCE! NO MORE KIDS!
skimom2 - I'd buy this Tshirt!

God help me. I'm Catholic, I work in the church, surrounded by large, large Catholic families -it's a thing here. And I have my 3 - the oldest is going to be 25 this year. The youngest is 12. The middle, the boy, will be 15 next week. There is drama every day. There is yelling. There are rules and chores and guilt. And when I hear a young woman announce her first pregnancy I want to cackle like a mad woman. And I am so grateful that my oldest has not had any children yet. I think I'd be ok with no grandchildren. Like I need more people to worry about? Pft! I would grieve myself to death if I got pregnant again ever. At the heart of this is so much love it's frightening. All these people who are part of me needing all these things and anything can happen to them. It was so much easier when they were babies you could carry them with you all the time. I thought that was hard, but this part is way harder.

Amen, sistah. Way, way harder. And I'm with you in absolute relief that none of my spawn have spawned (at 22, 19, and 17 that would be a tragedy to my mind). I'm just fine right now. When they're established and REAL adults is near enough for me.

We should make those shirts... ;)

I know too many women who get pregnant after their older kids graduate high school. I won't be a statistic lol!

Friend of mine (I use the term loosely) got pregnant at age 42 on purpose - sheesh! Some people will do anything to get a year off, eh?
\
but seriously - I do wish her well. She ended up with the daughter she wanted at last after having three boys.

(I think for some women it is like a "last kick at the cat", excuse the expression) - it makes them feel young again in that they can still have babies - just guessing here - I may be wrong :umm::hmm:
