Is anyone else in limbo with really wanting a /another baby but panicking about affording it?
we have 1 daughter age 3 already in childcare which we need to pay for for another 16 months and even when she starts school we’ll have to fund wraparound care. We’ve bought a bigger house for a 2nd child but with that comes bigger mortgage and bills.
We have some savings which is for Mat leave but I don’t think that’ll be enough as I’m the main earner quite considerably. Also with the cost of living I’m really struggling to add more than £2/300 a month to it so it won’t go up much during pregnancy and there’s nothing else we can cut back on. Shared parental leave for a few months is an option. I do really want another child but keep thinking life will be really hard to fund another Mat leave and 4 years of nursery!
