To ask you to tell me to get a grip

[cadburyegg]

I have 2 young dc, I don’t feel “done”, but stopping at 2 is the right decision financially. A friend of mine had her first baby at the weekend but (as well as feeling so excited and happy for her of course) I feel absolutely gutted that for us, the baby stage is nearly over and that she has all that to come.

I’m due back to work soon as my second maternity leave is ending and I’m really sad, even though I didn’t feel like this first time round, I couldn’t wait to get back.

Please, give me a shake and tell me that I will enjoy a coffee in peace / that pregnancy and childbirth is shit / newborns are hard etc.

You will be able to have a pee, even a poo, in peace behind a locked door. (Don’t forget to,shut and lock the loo door when you get back to irk.

FWIW I stopped at two; no regrets at the time but now they are grown up I wish I’d had 4.

That is true. But also, when you’re done you’ll know you’re done. For whatever reason, whether you don’t want another or can’t afford another, when you’re happy with that, you’ll feel it. Otherwise, I’d say you do actually want another baby.

Ha ha. Good tip about locking the door, thanks.

But if I have a third, will I ever feel done?!
