do you think i am mad?

[kaylasmum]

Hi,
I am a 39 year old mum of 4, my kids are aged 21,19,14 and 2. My youngest child has been quite difficult due to sleep problems and the fact that i have been suffering from PND but i would'nt change a thing. I am now ttc #5 but i am really worried about what other people will say, i have given it a lot of thought and i really do want another. I know my age might go against me but i love children and i don't see why i should let other peoples opinions stop me, being a mum is what i do best!

Just wondering what other people think, any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tracey

god, go for it if you enjoy it and aren't physically on your knees with the tiredness of it all! Good luck and sod everyone else.

It doesn't matter what other people think, does it?!

Me and DH have just started ttc#3, and if successful I will dread telling my mother, she will be horrified!!

Apparently, because i have "one of each" i shouldn't even think about having another, "it's not as if you're missing anything, is it?"

wonderful woman, my mother.

If you don't know her.

Go for it! Why not? In theory, by the time your then 2 youngest are at infant school you 2 oldest should have left home (if you're lucky - my poor mother's still got 3 at home!) so it'll all balance out!

why not?

A good 'excuse' would be that the 2yr old would have another sibling close in age

thanks for your replies,

I know i should'nt bother about what anyone else says but its just that i had a lot of negative comments the last time. But after your supportive messages i am just not going to bother about anyone else.

thanks again.

Tracey
