folk seem to be outraged at this....my sil in particular can't believe i'd even consider it.
we currently live in a standard 2 up 2 down +extension in london, with 2 pre-school children. i would really love another baby and as i hit 40 this year (boohoohoo) and my mother had the menopause at 43 i am aware that the clock is really ticking for me. we had hoped to move this year, but the property market has done for us, especially as my husbands job is quite heavily linked to property, so we also have that worry.
at the moment my (just) 3 year old girl and 21 month old boy share the 2nd bedroom and i figure a baby could be in our bedroom for the first year anyway, so it wouldn't be a disaster. yes, the house is small, but we could declutter and are currently having work done to maximise the space we have. is it really so ludicrous to consider this. i really don't feel i have hte luxury of time to sit back and wait for the market to improve enough for us to sell our house. the husband wouldn't consider renting ours out and renting a larger one either....
i'd be interested to know what others think....
