This is a joint post from myself and my husband, and we'd really like to get feedback from mums and dads!
We have a 21 month son and a 4 year old daughter, we both work full time and have busy but happy lives. We could afford to have another baby so financial reasons aren't an issue.
I (mum) would love to have a 3rd child, I struggle to verbalise this logically, I just would love to have another baby and for us to have 3 children in our family.
My husband has always said that he only wanted two. As we have one of each he doesn't see the point of having another one. He also struggled with depression after our son was born and so those early months hold particularly bad memories for him. His concern is that he wouldn't bond with a third as he's only ever wanted 2.
This isn't going to tear us apart, but I'm 39 and now that if we are to have one then it would need to be in next 2 years.
He is open to advise and stories from others , particularly men, who have been in this postion, and interested to hear a variety of different outcomes too!
Many thanks x
