@katrina2017 Thats incredibly sad, and crazy! Im so sorry for the way he treated you. Honestly it sounds like hes got issues beyond anyones control. You shouldnt have had to pay the price for that

@lauren11 I love this, too! Congratulations on your two surprise babies. I imagine hearing it was twins was shocking at first. I truly dont think I'd regret it, I just worried my kids wouldn't be happy, and that's what made me feel selfish - along with the opinions of my close friends. They will...

@mmsyther I agree 100%! My two oldest didn't help with my youngest until she was a toddler, but they did keep an eye on her at home. I made sure not to keep them home to babysit or "raise" her, but they didnt mind helping out around the house. Their bio mom will leave all of her young kids with...

@marks1mpson Love this, thank you!! I have to agree that it is selfish for completely different reasons. They would definitely be wanted/loved though! What I hope for the most is that as adults that age gap closes, like it did for you. I recently lost my father and if I didnt have my sister, I...

@dharmachrsitian Had to wait a long time to get them, thats perfect! Im sure all siblings are annoying no matter the age, but I love that over all hes happy with them and not bothered by age. Thankfully, I learned not to parentify with my oldest 2, which has always been so important to us as...

@lonleftwingforjc I truly appreciate this! I was asking for honesty, and that's what I got. Thank you! Im so sorry about your oldest. My 2 oldest have a broken other home and it has caused a lot of issues for us as well. Our middle daughter refuses to see her mom usually, and the oldest adores...

@jesus65535 Thank you! Also, im so sorry that happened to you. Im afraid the same thing happened to my 2 older girls from their bio mom. No child deserves that. I pray that you get to have a baby soon!!

@jesse1354 Thank you!! I agree that none of you should be taking care of the kids. Its great that you are all close even with the age gap, and that your mom got to meet her grandkids! I will try my hardest to make sure all of my older kids are okay and dont feel excluded. I think it might be...

@magicalmoons Im 5'5 and was 230 when I conceived, the heaviest I've ever been. Even heavier than when I was 9 months pregnant the first time. I think stress plays a huge factor! The month we conceived, I tracked my cycle, and my husband was gone the day of and the 2 days before ovulation.. I...

@marke2 Did it bother you or your siblings, or is it just accepted and no big deal? I mean, at least the kids all have play mates their age. Haha. Is it weird parenting kids that are the same age as your parents youngest?

@tak Very true! Lol. Thank you. I think anxiety just took over. At 32, I know better than to worry about what anyone else thinks of me, I dont know why I got so worked up worrying about the judgment my kids/future kid would receive. I am excited to try now, and I hope we can have one more!

@jjoseph Im not sure if anything makes sense in this brain of mine, but it's a lot of what you said. Your point of view is a lot better. I had a friend tell me that it's weird and unfair to have such a large age gap (18 years from oldest) because my oldest could be having babies when my youngest...

@shmuel7 I love this perspective, thank you!! Im so glad it worked out. It took me that long to decide, too, and the only 2 people I talked to made me feel like it was wrong. Then anxiety took over.

We have 3 kids, 1 who I gave birth to and 2 my husband had before he met me. We have had custody of them since my daughter was 2 weeks old, and because I went from mom of 0 to mom of 3 in 1 month, I didnt want anymore kids. I was 23 when I had my daughter. Now im 32, and I want to have another...
