Hello, Yes I just adore Brooke Shields but really she is TOO OLD for another baby. I really think that woman today are pushing the Fertility issue and we are going to see grannies and grandpas with teenage children and this is ridiculous. My mother-in-law always says that in Germany we close the Barn door at age: 40 and I agree. Thank, Carol.

I think Nikka just worded her comments wrong because I can understand to an extent of what she was trying to say.

I personally know some people who would love to have more kids but can’t. That doesn’t mean they don’t love and adore their one and only child. I also know people that have one child and that’s all they want because they know financially they wouldn’t be able to afford anymore. They’re making the smart decision to make it work with their one child rather then bring more into the world that they know they can’t afford. Wouldn’t it be best to just give your one child the best it could have instead of trying to provide for more children knowing you can’t?

With that being said I can see how some people may have a child for selfish reasons. Some people will trick their significant others into having a child to “keep” them in their life. Or some have a child because they believe some how or some way this child will bring them the “love” they felt they never got from their parents. So I can def. see Nikka’s point. But I think sometimes you have to watch how you word things in order not to offend people.

As far as Brooke is concerned if she wants to try for that boy that’s wonderful but you can’t always guarantee you’ll get what you want? Sometimes you also have to be happy with what you have. Maybe your not meant to have a son or a daughter. Everybody should just enjoy what they have whether it be one child or ten!

Gheez! It is getting to point where I am really leary to read posts anymore because I have noticed lately people are being so negative, IMO. I feel like almost every post turns into an argument.

Any how, Brooke has such a lovely family, and I am sure she would be happy if her next child was a boy or a girl (that is if she can get her hubby to agree for another!);) Best of luck to her and her family!

Sarah’s note: What? I’m confused. This is a direct quote made by Brooke to Us at an event she attended. We post things from Us, OK! In Touch and Life & Style quite frequently when they are direct quotes from the celeb – for example, Tori’s confirmation to In Touch that she’s having a girl.

We wouldn’t post any of the above things about Angelina when they are rumor and she hasn’t mentioned a thing about them. I don’t really understand your comment, but maybe I’m misunderstanding?

Nikka, i think it was ignorant of you to post such a thing. I have one child and don’t plan on having any more. my daughter isn’t an accessory, she is a lovely child and we just adore her. we decided long ago, that for us, one was what we wanted. i get to stay home with her, we take great vacations and we can give her more with just one.

Just to clear things up a little – Nikka didn’t say anything is WRONG with having one child. She said SOME people have one child as an accessory.
I personally think its your own decision whether or not you have children and if so, how many you choose to have, as long as you are having them for the right reasons, and not just because you think you have to.

As a mama of 2 gorgeous girls, I totally understand the feelings of wanting a boy as well. I do get frustrated at the remarks people make to me (like, “You HAVE to have another one so you can have a boy!”) because it seems like the US is so dead set that families have to have male children and female children (and once you get that sought after child of the missing sex, you’re supposed to stop!) My hubby is almost 10 years older than me, (he’s mid-30′s) so he doesn’t want to have anymore children, so again, I totally understand needing to convince the hubs to get on board. With my luck, I’d have another girl, who knows, maybe my hubby only makes girls (and maybe Chris only makes girls!) Right now, we’re thinking adoption later on, at least that way we know for sure we’re going to have a boy Good luck to Brooke on getting what she desires!

In response to Nikka’s previous comment about someone having only 1 child – My mom is an only child, I’m an only child, and I only want 1 child. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with having or being an only child. Some people want to be a mother and experience motherhood without being pulled in every direction and want to have more time with that 1 child. Some people are meant to have a bunch of kids and others, like my family, prefer to have just 1 child!!! Neither is right or wrong, but is each person’s personal preference. You shouldn’t be so judgemental!

I hope brooke has a son- it would be nice for her and her daughters to have another male in the household!
As to Nikka’s comment, I have a son and I don’t want anymore at the moment because I feel happy and content with my little boy that I don’t feel the need/desire to have any more children. But if it happens, it happens, I’ll be so happy to have another child. My son is happy being an only child at the mo, because he has my full attention and everything I do, I do for him. Of course he would love to have a sibling, but for now, he’s happy with his many cousins and friends to keep him company! And me!

I didn’t say Brooke shouldn’t discuss this with her husband.

I said she shouldn’t talk about it publicly – it’s a personal issue and it should be between the two of them.

It makes him look mean because he won’t agree with her.
