No more Yowlets till the Yowlet father can learn to cope better with the one Yowlet he already has. Don't get me wrong, I think he's doing a great job, but he doesn't think he's coping very well, and therefore we won't be having The Second Yowlet until he's confident enough that he can cope with not one but two of them. Sadly, that might not be for quite some time, and then I"ll be too old to really consider pregnancy and childbirth again.

And he may be ready sooner than you think. The first year is awfully hard.(As I understand it. Sorry.

The fertility isn't an issue - its the energy levels and fitness of an "older" me. I'm already feeling the first twinges of age in my joints. I don't think I have the physical capacity to be doing the stuff you need to do with a baby in another 5 years time, let alone actually carrying and giving birth to one. Besides which, we couldn't afford to adopt (its darn expensive here) and I don't think I have the emotional make up to foster. Once kids were in my care, I don't think I could ever give them back.

It is also wise to realize what your limits are -- there are many more only children these days and they turn out okay, too! (P.S., I was an only kid , btw).

Christine My mom was 37 when she had me, my dad about to turn 38. There were pros and cons, but as I recall, mostly pros. Sure, we didn't do sports together, but then, I don't know that my parents were ever into that kind of thing. My parents were well-established financially and settled. They had a lot of life experience and didn't worry as much about me doing kid things, although part of this is because they had both had children far earlier (my older older brother is 18 years older than me; my younger older 8). Mom tells the story of how I learned to crawl up and down the stairs. At first, she thought my brother Erick was fibbing when he said he wasn't carrying me up to his room, but then she saw me crawling up there myself. Dad spent a whole evening with me after that, showing me how to get up and down the stairs safely on my own. I don't know if a younger dad would have had the time or patience to do that. There were risks; I was unplanned and they were prepared to abort if the amniocentisis had come out poorly or if mom's health had been in danger. But it all worked out, and my brother Karsten remembers her jumping the fence when she was 8 months pregnant (the fence was wedged shut thanks to our two escape artist dachshunds, and mom found it easier to jump than to bend down to remove the wedge).

I wanted - still want - another kid, but its not an option while YF is unsure, because it would be unfair on YF and unfair on the resulting Yowlet. It may even be unfair on the first Yowlet if YF ends up not being able to cope with another. I'd prefer to have a healthy YF and one happy Yowlet than a Yowletdad that felt like he was going mad, and two little Yowlets who ended up not having a functioning Daddy and suffering becauseof hte consequencs that would bring.

Yowie > I've thought of going "oops" with the contraception, but a good relationship > is based on trust and honesty. And quite frankly, I am crappy at keeping > secrets anyway. It just wouldn't be fair. I have to agree here. Aside from the issue of morality, I doubt you could ever rebuild the trust from such a major betrayal.
