I have one DD 11 months and I find myself (now that the labour is leaving my mind) wistfully wanting another a sister or brother for my smally without too big an age gap, but I’ve always been adamant on one do to financial reasons in the 7 years me and DP have been together we have always been low earners.
I don’t see a great increase in the near future or possibly at all, we currently scrape by, (works a bit seasonal we do short holidays, day trips) Do people feel guilty about only having one because they want enough money to enjoy time with thier child? I know if I was an only child I would have gotten more holidays, toys, school trips and attention.
Ridiculously I’m even considering getting a dog which feels silly.
