Should we have a 3rd

[Mamadramma]

Hey all

Just looking for some perspectives especially from the more mature parents. And P.s I know you can't make the choice for me, I just need perspectives 😊

So here the circumstances Me and Partner (15years) both 34 have children DS and DD 11 and 9 and were considering have a 3rd. We've gone back and forth over this for a while but more recently began taking the thought more seriously.

But we are just so damn unsure! Realistically we no reason at all it's just this desire.

Logic tell us no because:

1. financial we're okay-ish but just still that uncertainty and mat leave and nursery fees 😭 survival rate 0 but we could possibly manage.

1. Being older parents going from we'll have adult child in our 40s to we'll have an infant. Super scary.

1. The age gap between our children. They'd love a another siblings they've asked for years.

So what's 3rd child life like?
Have any of you ever been in our position? Do you regret the choice you made?

Also this is a judgment free zone! We listen and we don't Judge!!

Thank you x

@Mamadramma no, the earth is overpopulated. You've done your bit. Time to stop now

Got for it if you can afford it! We couldn’t afford more than one! With school fees and university fees, driving lessons, hobbies, holidays and all the bits in between!
