My husband has just admitted that he would like another baby-after almost writing the idea off for the last year and a half. I had convinced myself that I too didn't want another one- I made lots of reasons up-but deep down I know it would be lovely to have another so that my daughter has a brother or sister. I also know that we would have enough energy and love to give to another baby.
The problem is we live in a 2 bedroom terraced house- and the small bedroom is just about big enough for our daughter-it's a box room. The house is tiny- whenever we have washing to dry in the house it takes over the whole house!!
My daughter's things have taken over the house, which we don't mind- but we have had to sacrifice chucking out a lot of our things to make room.
Then there is the question of moving-we can't- we are in a fixed mortgage for the next 3/4 years so we wouldn't beable to move until my D is in full time ed (she's 2 now).
I am 38 and time is ticking away-but I can't stand the thought of having to make do with no room to swing a cat in and 2 children running around in it! We are almost at the point of giving up on the idea of another baby-but is there anything else we might be able to do? My husband and I are both teachers- I am part time. We are not rolling in money-we're just about doing ok now after the last few years- but the mortgage, childcare and our loan we pay off every month takes up most of our wages.
Any thoughts on this?
