I can respond from expierience. I'm 31. I have 4 kids ages 14, 11 1/2 and a set of 9 yr old twins. The 14 year old is from my Fiance/ Husband previous realationship (we're the same age) The other three are my own children. We have been together for 8 years and have been living together for 4.
We went through a time where we wanted children of our own but, we really need to focus on these for now. I really must admit that
after getting Josie 1 year and 2 month
ago...I've reliazed, that the yearn for having more kids is gone. I think, I would much rather have another yorkie. They really are like children and the love I have for her and my children are very close.
My children, mostly the Twins will get jealous of Josie every once and a while. It's just that they want my attention too. They will say things like "you love her more than us" Then I just have give them all the attention and Josie will be the one whinning. It's nice to be loved
