How do I stop?

[Heyguys]

I have a beautiful DD, and a beautiful DS I work as a C/A in a school. I would love another little baby, but my husband has said no 😪 how do I stop wanting a baby? Btw alot of the kids in my class have a little sister, or brother (recently), and the teacher I am with is pregnant.
Baby fumes are everywhere!! Help me.....

It gets easier over time. You just get used to your life as a three and then it would suddenly be an inconvenience.

also I got a dog

That should be not

How old are your children? My youngest is 7 months and I’m sooo broody, every time she does something (she’s just started crawling) I think ahhh I’m never going to see my baby crawl for the first time again 😂 which is just ridiculous but 🤷‍♀️

I do think though that when I’m out of the baby stage, and my kids are older I will be happy that I’m done (which I am, 100% done!). I’m trying to say that I don’t even want another one and I feel the same as you. Eventually I hope that’s the baby stage will be gone and I’ll be more looking forward to being able to spend some time with my husband occasionally, or read an actual book.

@Kungfupanda67 I have a daughter at 5(in school) and a son at 3(ready for nursery school). I was okay, but now I miss little baby coos and ahhs....
Maybe babysitting for a little while will get me away from this baby feeling lol XX

They’re still quite little then, when your 3 year old starts school and gets to the stage where you can just jump in the car and go out for the day, or go out for dinner or any of the other things that are difficult or require lots of planning with very young kids you’ll probably be over it!

At the moment you’re probably at that in between stage - difficulties with having young kids but no cute baby stuff to go with it. It won’t be long though and you’ll all be able to do stuff together without it being a military operation to leave the house!

I’m at the stage of reminding myself why it would be a terrible idea eveytime I start mooning over it.

Thinking about the things that would be much more difficult with another baby, how much less money we’d have.

All the wine I wouldn’t be able to drink

It does get easier over time though

Think of what you'll spend the quarter of a million (or whatever the current estimate is of the average cost of raising a child to adulthood is) you save by not having another on.

Be smug that you aren't causing additional damage to the environment by having another.

Depends, really, on your outlook on life as to what will work for you!

Very true!! Term time worker tho so I'm unable to have a wee day to myself while they're at school. Although sometimes I could do with having a wee 5 minutes to myself. Hummm....I suppose when I think of it between dancing, gymnastics & football....I'm tired even thinking about those three lol!
