I am in a dliemma, 40 year old 3 kids youngest starting school this year feeling extremely Sad about this crying most days already and not until September, constantly thinking is another baby the answer a little one running around again, am i being selfish?, will I feel better once i got used to all 3 being in school, i feel like in my 20s i was against kids one of the i dont want kids ever and happy with that decision, until i had my own and realised how much i loved being a mum a role i feel i was born for....

You will feel better once they are all in school

If you actually wanted another baby it wouldn’t take feeling sad about your youngest to trigger that desire - you are just experiencing the end of an era

However - a new era will begin with more time for you and your kids becoming more interested as they grow up

Try and focus on what you want for yourself in the next decade
