NCed but have been around for years (so much so that other MNers know me, thus the NC).
DH and I are thinking about a third. We have DS 3y6mo and DD 1y6mo. They are gorgeous little creatures but I feel like our family isn’t yet complete.
BUT. Both DH and I have quite full on senior careers - him in professional services, me in company management (C suite of a big international company). I am vaguely worried that a third will tip us over the edge. We already have the nanny in place, cleaner etc but now we have come through the baby stage with DD life is looking very neat and tidy and I am wondering if we are just unnecessarily upsetting the apple cart. I am 39 and therefore would like to either go for it or not soon - no ability to wait and have a larger age gap.
We’d also have to do some work on our house which we built anticipating we’d have 2 children, but we can afford it and I am assuming we can do it at some point in the next 5 years and kids can share before then so not so worried about that.
Would love to hear from MNers who have been in similar positions - did you go for it? If you did, how did it work out for you?
