We have one ds (6). Absolutely love him to bits. I’m 38 and for a while now I’ve really wanted a second, but do you think the age gap is too big? Ideally we would have had another a few years after she was born but I never thought I’d want another.
Now I’m nearing 40 I feel like if we don’t have another I might regret it. Has anyone felt the same? I’m also worried about finances, still have a relatively large mortgage, would have no one to support for childcare so would need to fund nursery again etc. we have average jobs but even now sometimes I don’t have much left before payday. I’m so torn because I don’t want to regret not having another, and especially not for financial reasons, but also thinking it would only be for a brief period of a few years and that’s not really a reason not to? Also the age gap bothers me, even if I got pregnant by the end of the year my ds would be 7 by the time baby came along.
