Would the current climate and cost of living put you off having a 3rd child if you were on benefits?

As about.what are your thoughts ?

God no! When I had DS we were a stable two income family, homeowners, and we were trying for the 2nd, when I became a widow unexpectedly.

I'm only in my 30's but have one child and despite working full time in a ok paid job that suits school hours I still get a small UC top up.

I'd never ever consider a second child in these circumstances, and sometimes I'm thankful I only have the one given my circumstances 🤷🏻‍♀️
