So I'm here for honest opinions 😊
I have 2 children (boys) age 3 and 7. They're awesome. Miscarriaged a few times after first child but with the help of medication, successfully had second child. Married, a successful career which I really love and 4 bedrooms at home.
Am I being unreasonable to try for a third child? I just have this urge to have another. However my worries are:
- is 2 company and 3 a Crowd?
- Will I have enough energy and time for my current children? I don't want to add another child at their expense.
- are work judgemental if I go on maternity leave for a third time? Also I do love my job.
- Is everything not suitable for families of 5 such as holidays etc.
- I've heard of families who actually regret having a third. Family have also said don't do it (though we never ask for help babysitting etc so it's not that it would be on them at all)
- does 3 children mean a bigger car?? Everyone seems to say it does.
Just any thoughts or advise or experiences would be helpful too.
