So much this. I’m about to be 44 and K is 48. I so wish I had gotten my shit together and had three kids. Ours have just turned 9 and 7. I totally could have had one more who would be 5 now and an absolute riot.
i should have had more babies 😩 😭 but now my oldest is 14 and my youngest is 8 and i’m 41 and my husband is 51 and while it’s still definitely possible it doesn’t feel in keeping with our season of life
and like, i understand why we stopped when we did, but 33 year old me didn’t know what 41 year old me knows. it’s not fair that less-wise Melissa got to make serious decisions on behalf of incrementally-wiser Melissa
