To all members.I split these spots off of David E's thread.I thought it was such a important topic.That it deserved its own thread.

Wow David  so many factors involved in this decision that must be
                  discussed between the two of you. but i wouldn't come
                  right out and tell her NO! discuss and re discuss between
                  the two of you and i am sure that the both of you will
                  come to the decision that is right for the both of you

David E,

How old is Ming now??  All i can say here, is that the medical profession say that over 40, and with long spans between births, or first pregnancies. There is the possibilities of many complications for both baby and mother. Those risks increase as the mothers age increases....

David........

David E:
Yeah Mike....it's like the slow drip...the Chinese water torture...always quietly in the background !!

Dave, I have been through all the potential Medical dangers, she is 44, and long time between pregnancies is not a good prognosis.

I am nealy 60 and I full well know the risks of Fathering a child at my age........never mind the issues of having a teenage child push me around in a wheelchair, while I dribble into my napkin !!!!

I will continue to genly work away at the negatives, and keep re-inforcing the positives, of not having more kids...but its gonna be a long row to hoe :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

I had better step in here and say at getting closer to 61 each day I reckon kids are great.  Provided they are NOT mine.  

My wifes niece comes to our home about 4 or 5  times a week and at 14 months she is great.  But I am certainly glad that she goes back home after an hour or two.  

Like David E says at our age kids are for younger parents to have.  

How can we enjoy ourself into our twilight years whilst we have a child that needs feeding, changing for a year or two then onto teething and then loosing it teeth then becoming a teenager then a student and then by the time we are really old or probably dead they are wanting to get married have children and dump them on the grandparents whilst they go off to work.

Keep your principles David and say no to drudges.

Peggy tells me she does not want any more children.  I hope she remains that way.  She doesn't even want to be the full time caretaker of her granddaughter.  She doesn't mind it for a week but that is about her limit.

David, dribbling into a napkin and in a wheel chair is the image I have when the next child would be a teenager.  If my heart survives everything else it will not survive a hot headed 16 year old boy pushing me in a wheel chair.   It will never happen.  I can say that with confidence.  Peggy does not know how to get onto this site, yet.
