I have a 3 year old and 1 year old. Boy and girl. Found it really hard going from 1-2 but they are a delight. DD is very clingy, drops her toys and cries when I walk out the room and only wants me to hold her when I’m around. Don’t know how she’d be with a baby. DS was great when she was born but then went through terrible 2s and still has major tantrums, some of them from having to share. First pregnancy and birth were easy. Second pregnancy and birth were v hard I thought I was done. We just about have space in our house and would definitely need a new car. Yet I obsess over having a 3rd. Every time I see families of 3 my heart twangs. My husband said it’s upto me as he’d be happy to and isn’t worried about car/house etc but I am! I grew up with 3 and we didn’t have enough and I always wished we had more but then my household wasn’t a happy one. I worry about disadvantaging my current 2 by having less time and money but then I worry about them being lonely with just 1 of them. What if one goes away. Really cannot decide and don’t feel time is on my side as I want to be done by 40 and I’m 38! Also have found it hard going back to work after second child and think I would basically have to kiss my job goodbye if I went on mat leave yet again. Both me and my DH need to work so that’s another factor. Any advice anyone??
