Ladies, how do you know when you’re done? I have 2 dc’s, ds who is 3.5 and dd who is 15 months but since having dd I’ve not been able to shake the possibility of having one more even though before dd I wasn’t that keen on having 2 let alone 3! DH is happy with two and the sensible part of me thinks it’s the easier option. We have enough space at home and are thinking about a new car at some point in the not too distant future so they’re not a major issue. We don’t live an extravagant lifestyle, we do go on holiday and days out but not very often and we both work so would need childcare for a couple of days however my eldest would be at school then. I worry with one more that my existing dc’s might feel left out but then I’m one of 2 and often felt my parents favoured my sister and my sil is the same and is one of two. I don’t want to have regrets but also don’t want to feel guilty towards my children. If we did go for it I would ideally hope for a 2-3 year gap as we currently have 2 years 4 months different and love it.
If you’ve been in the situation what have you done?
