Please tell me the upsides of having two kids!

[frostytimes]

I am yearning for a third but we can't for all the right sensible reasons, financially, emotionally, time wise, and DH has had the snip. Kids are 4 and 2 and things are just getting easier.
I think what I really want is to re live my time with mine as babies 😢 anyone else felt like this before?

@MyBrilliantFriend yes! My four year old is about to start school and my littlest is a full on toddler so I think I am feeling quite emotional 😭

@frostytimes I think that's the crutch, if you feel you'd be spreading yourself thinly, imagine how it would be to be that third child. And I think it says a lot about you and your parenting that you can imagine that and factor it into your decision making. Many can't see past wanting another squishy newborn.

As I said I was the third, and I grew up very independently. I don't have good relationships with either of my parents, and there is no way I would have three children myself. I'd have two ideally, but if I was in a position where I could work super part time and was minted I'd consider having two sets of two close together. But never three. Never.
