Single parent to 4 year old. Ex has sporadic contact. Apparently he's doing more in the coming months but we shall see. I have a partner and did consider having another child but honestly I'm put off because alot of it is hard work?
The pregnancy, the risks, the baby stage, tantrums, nursery runs. Having to plan if you want to go anywhere. Love my.child but I don't think I could do that level of work again.

Hi thank you. Just revisiting this. I think I'll end up coming to terms with just 1. I've been speaking to older women in work and some of them have 4 kids and admit they wish they'd stuck with 1! I do feel like he's missing out though but being an only is alot more common now.
