I’m 31, my husband is 51, and lately I’ve been feeling some baby fever. For the record, kids aren’t a must for me, I’m genuinely happy with or without them, but I think it would be nice to experience that journey. My husband is hesitant, though. Even though he’s very healthy, active, and energetic, he feels like having a child in his 50s might be too late. He also already has a 27-year-old son, and he worries that the big age gap between siblings would feel strange.

I guess I’m just looking to hear what others think about this situation.

      My last response was somewhat facetious, but saying it can’t be argued that humans have kind of fucked up the planet is entirely incorrect. Climate change and mass extinctions come to mind.

      Also, for whatever reason it seems that if you get enough humans together, they are going to elect a pedophile to represent them.

        Who said that?

        Is this America-centrism? 💁‍♀️

          I’m not American, but yes Donald Trump is a great example. 💁 (God I hate that emoji)

            You did.

            Whereabouts did I say “it can’t be argued that humans have kind of fucked up the planet”, I’m struggling to find that in my comments.

            Also, good. 🙋‍♀️
