I don't know why I'm asking strangers for their opinions on this but looking for some insight...
I'm 34... have an 8 year old daughter to a previous relationship. Lasted from 2010-2014 before we split up due to a range of issues, mainly (for me) around his drinking and lack of responsibility for money etc.
Have been with my current partner 5.5 years, now living together, decent jobs, happy etc. He has 2 teenagers (17 and 19) who rarely stay with us but who visit and meet up with their dad often.
I worry about my 8 year old having no brothers or sisters. She often says she wishes she had a sister or brother. I think it's too late for her to have someone to play with but wondering if longer term she needs a sibling? I worry we are so far past that stage now.
Anyone any experience or been in similar situation?!
