dh & I are pretty decided that we'd like another one, but I'm feeling anxious about what it's really like. I love ds (4) and dd(2) to bits and am sure the same would be true of another, but I do find managing even 2 a real struggle. I work part time and usually end up with most of the childcare & household responsiblities because dh is rather old-fashioned and he often works away anyway.
So...what I'm concerned about is that I've survived so far, but might a 3rd push me over the edge? I'm already feeling tired most of the time but if I had another I'd be going through the whole newborn thing again. ds made me feel young again, dd has aged me - how have people found having a third when energy levels are running low?
