Hi,

I'm 35 and have a 6 year old and 8 year old.
I've always said I'm done but Iately I feel like I want another one but a big part of me is wondering if I just miss the children I have being young..

How do you know whether to have another one or not?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thank you

I absolutely think in this sort of scenario you’re just missing your kids as little ones . It’s hard seeing your kids get older and moving on from snuggly toddlers to kids that maybe are getting more independent but I think you have to embrace the positives like sleep!

As someone who had a third baby with a 6 and 9yr age gap... You are just missing your older kids being babies.
