Congrats on your sixth!! Our sixth (and last) kid just graduated from high school at the beginning of the summer. And our fourth graduated from college in May. So, we're down to just two in college this fall!! Since all six went to parochial grade & high schools, and half went to private colleges, it's like a vacation to only have one public & one private college tuition this fall!!
On the other hand, our one & only (so far) grandkid is 18 months old and is a hoot!!!

I had one, did my part, but count me part of the group that does not want more. I'd be hesitant to have a child in this day and age.

Thank you. I am not looking forward to college. My oldest is 14. Going to need a second job, lol. Sounds like you have done a great job with your six.

My first was born when I was 38 and Wifey 35. Second born when I was 40 and Wifey 37. Friendly advice: Get all the sleep you can NOW.

My wife and I were part of an “AK Supper Club” in our late 20s/early 30s. AK means “anti-kids”. That lasted 2.5 years. Now its more the late bloomers club, and the youngest is 6yo. It’s interesting raising a kid in this environment, but it must be done. We can only deal with the news as it comes.This message has been edited. Last edited by: barndg00,

My birthday! Only 50 years apart. Congrats to the youngster for picking a good day.

We had our first, a boy on April 20th this year. Probably will need to put in some extra effort to ensure he won't be the proverbial pothead as he gets older.

This was me a few years ago, our first I was 40 and last year we had our 2nd one and I was 43. Only bad thing is the vast majority of our friends already have teenagers!
