We have 2 beautiful, smart, whitty funny little boys.
My wife desperately wanted more. A little girl to round out the family.
I always said no because I didn’t think we could afford it.
I worried about sacrificing too much to provide for another.
I worried about schooling, I worried about travel, I worried about having an affordable and comfortable lifestyle for all of us.
I had a fiat mindset, because I didn’t know any different.
I didn’t realise there was a solution that would enable everything we wanted through hard work and time preference.
Now, I fear we have left it too late to safely go after what we want due to age.
Fiat robbed me and my family of something truly beautiful and I will never forgive or forget.

Totally hear your concerns, and that you wanted reassurance you could provide a quality life for the family you already had 🧡
That said, I wonder what you mean when you say ‘too old’? I know so many who had beautiful healthy babies after 40 :)
Have gratitude for your boys.
You'll raise them well and they'll find the right girls and expand your family anyway. 🤷
Powerful stuff, man. Thank you for sharing.

Dr. Robert Kiltz is a legend in this area (fertility maximization through ghe carnivore diet). Highly recommend looking into his work! 👇

You're not alone in this and you're a good dad for wanting to provide for them
💯
Fiat robbing us of so much and continuing to do so. I think of the fiat games that have made housing so expensive. Families put off or never had. Both parents working and forgoing time with the families that they have. And then there's the bad relationships and living arrangements that persist because leaving or starting somewhere new is too expensive or risky.
Yeah - I have some regret.
My 2 are adults now & I wish we'd knocked a couple more out straight after them. It would have been much harder but we would have had gotten through it.
It's too late now.
Now all I can do is build a place where my grandchildren can raised healthy & strong.
Bro. Be grateful for your boys, and don't give up just yet. What will be, will be.
I quit a seemingly perfect dink lifestyle in my mid thirties, because ultimately my biological clock kicked in and my partner's still hadn't. Time was running out.
I soon found my soulmate, but things were complicated for years, with a lengthy divorce, and family court proceedings. We couldn't get married until I was 40, but at least I had a younger wife to finally have children with. Only within a year I ended up with an aggressive cancer that had already spread. By the time I got a diagnosis, treatment had to begin right away to save my life. It was only after chemotherapy had begun that I was told it would leave me infertile.
To cut a long story short, I now have a miracle of a strong, healthy, happy, smart and inquisitive 3 year old boy.
There's no sign of a sibling on the way, but I am obviously extremely grateful for being alive and having a child I dreamed of for so long.
Miracles do happen. Just don't stress about it. 🫂

Focus on this ^
Let go of everything else.
You were doing exactly what you needed to be a husband and a father.
Besides it could be worse…
I have a brother incapable of being responsible so he’s ended up with 7 kids to 3 women, 2 divorces and not a cent to his name…
Or then there’s me - left things too long and now it looks like it won’t happen at all
🤷🏼♂️
You already have a beautiful family, focus on what you got. Maybe you can still get pregnant, but focus on the love around you!
Bro…..
🧡🧡🧡🧡
I’m sorry bro. 🧡
I wise old lady once told me “never never give up” 😉
