[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 44977, member: 84"] Heather I started out married life wanting at the very least a dozen children. I was serious and husband was willing. After 3 pregnancies and 2 live births kidney disease changed those plans. husband got clipped. I was devistated, but it was just too dangerous. A year later N entered the world. yep The vasectomy failed. And miraculously both N and I survived the high risk pregnancy. I didn't have husband clipped again, nor did I get my tubes tied. I'd decided nature would take it's course. Six pregnancies and 3 live births. Early 30's and menopause kicks in. (and not long after losing the last pregnancy) Poor husband was relieved and again I was devistated. I was a stay at home Mom from the moment I found out I was preg with easy child. I enjoyed every moment of my kids childhood and being a Mom. Once they were in high school and jr high the void hit. I floundered not knowing what to do with 3 kids who were no longer dependent on me. (and let's be honest, didn't even really want me around most of the time lol) I got baby fever BAD. Then stepgfg came to live with us with grand child #1 Kayla. Since she was a difficult child I wound up doing far more parenting Kayla than being just the grandma. And I discovered pretty quickly that I'd grown accustomed to my older kids and the freedom that meant for me. And honestly parenting a baby again was exhausting. After a few months any urge to have another child was gone forever. [img]:rofl:[/img] It was then I remember that when I was a little girl I always wanted to grow up to be a GRANDMA. lmao As Nana I get all the wonderful fun I did with my kids when they were little and very little of the downside. It's fabulous. And glory be, I don't have to be the BAD GUY anymore. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
