I don't think it matters much to him, or at least he's never mentioned either way. He'll turn 25 about a week after LO's due date.

I think he'd like to be done by 38 - he'll be 31 when LO is born (just!)

I don't think he wants to have kids after 32/33. We both had older parents and want to do things a little differently.

Around 30. Baby 2 is due in feb when DH will be 31 and I'll have just turned 30. It's the last baby for us.

I'm not sure. DH didn't want to be too old. We haven't discussed a max.

I just asked DH and he said 60! WTF? Then he said, "Wait, you mean the two of us?" SLAP. He said it doesn't matter to him since it depends on me. He said, "Hey, technically I can give my stuff to a surrogate or a 25-year-old PYT." (pretty young thing). Second SLAP.
Seeing as how my cutoff is 38/39, he will be done at 35.

@mrsjazz: Hahaha! Outrageous! I just read this to DH and he said he agrees wholeheartedly and fully intends to trade me in for a newer model! Gasp!
I just asked DH and he said 35. Agh! 35! We are 32 now and still waiting to meet our first! The pressure!!

He's never given a max but I think the sooner the better for him. He's 33 now and wants another ASAP.

I dunno. We were 32 (me) and 33 (him) when we met, and 34 and 35 when we got married. Right now we are 36 and 37, and I am 7w4d pregnant *knock wood* with our first. I had a miscarriage in January when I was still 35.
If this baby sticks, then we'll be 36 and 38 when it's born. If we decide to have a second -- the jury's still out on that, depends on how the first one goes -- then I think we would have to wait til 38 and 40. So, kinda old unfortunately. But we didn't meet til we were in our 30s.

DH just turned 30, and LO2 will be born later this year. I'm happy with two kids, but there might be a possibility of a third in our future. So at most I think DH would be 35.

Considering I'm 5 years older, he doesn't get a say & really I don't think he'd really cares. lol

@SweetMamaM: did I miss your announcement?! when are you due?
@mrsjazz: @Cherrybee: ohh snap! lol!!
I don't know, we've never discussed! All he's ever said is he doesn't want to be "too old", whatever that means! By the time number 2 is born he'll be 35, and i'm pretty sure he wants more than 2

He doesn't care. I think he would have more of an opinion if we weren't dealing with IF.

Probably 38/39--We think we'll be done sooner than that, though. DH doesn't want to be 60 with kids still in the house (he's only 29 and our first is due in November, so I don't think we'll have to worry!)

@Mrs. J: That is my DH's reasoning but he is 36!
