I have two lovely daughters close in age (19 months apart) age 4 and 5. They are both at full-time school and I'm thinking of having another baby. However I'm just not sure. I go through days when I think, "yes, yes this is definately what I want" (when I happen to see a cute toddler in the supermarket) or other times when my DD's are stressing me or I'm too tired and I think "oh no, how could I?"
DH doesn't mind having another and has left the decision to me. I also think is it fair on my two girls to have another child knowing a lot of my attention will be taken away from them, is there too big an age gap between them and a younger sibling?
I was talking to a lady this week who has two grown up children close in age and a third who is 6 years younger and said its like having two families!
Anyone else in a dilema like this?
