More children!??

[ELM14]

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of advice........I am a very lucky lady with 3 happy, healthy children. Ages 5,9 and 11. And a very supportive hubby.

A friend of the family has recently announced she is having another baby, and my brood have been begging for another brother or sister ever since! Hubby is quite keen on the idea also.

I have always wanted more children but now they are all off at school Im not really sure if I want to start all over again. I would have liked a fourth soon after having the 5yr old, but the fella wanted to wait a while. Im concerned about the big age gaps there would be with the older children, although they really dont seem to worried about that!

I am doing well at work and feel like my career is geting back on track, having another child now would really put things on hold for another few years.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice??!

Ummm, not sure this is the right board for this? Think you might be better off in parenting...

Or even in larger families?

There is a "large families" board too. You'd be much better off posting there.

I somehow don't think you'll find many people who've been in your shoes around here
