Life feels so much easier now. My kids are at an age where the days are a lot more stress free, less tantrums, more fun and everything ticks along nicely (well, in comparison to a year or so ago). My husband and I agreed we wouldn’t have anymore kids and it makes complete sense in every regard - cost, space, time etc. but sorting through my kids toys has become quite an emotional process lol.
I’ve kept books and some toys for over 8 years and passed them down from my daughter to my son. They have been a constant in my home and items I always kept hold of ‘just in case’. I’ve decided to give them away due to lack of space/kids haven’t used in years and it’s really hit me, I’m not going to have anymore children.
What a conflicting feeling this is. Has this feeling caught anyone else off guard? I’m usually not so attached to things, but I didn’t realise how many of my kids toys and books held so many fond memories.
