Sorry, another "3rd child" one...

I know, I know, people are always asking about having number 3, but what if you'll have a big age gap?? I have DS9 and DD7. Does the 3rd feel left out?? Also I'm 36 this year, am I too old?? We have a big 3 bed and if we went ahead we'd either eventually move or convert the loft so not worried about space. We're also well off financially.

Does anyone have experience of having number 3 with this sort of age gap?

I think that's too big and age gap (unless you're planning to have 2 more, or it's a new husband.) I don't think 36 is too old though.

No no, it's the same DH. He actually suggested 2 more but I'm really not sure about 4!!

@Insertfunnyname yes... we are enjoying playing board games together! My head says it's a bit silly but hormones are funny things!

In what way would your life have been better with two?
I'm also considering a third.

Just.... don’t. Honestly you’ve come out the other side you can do the great holidays, leisurely walks and meals out. Pop to town, play monopoly.

Adding another one in now would upset the Apple cart way too much for me! But then my 3 are all very close together. Even with that I can see rationally that we’d have had a better life with only 2! (Don’t tell him!)
