Larger families

We’ve been thinking about it for 2 years now...🤔

Hi!

I hoping to hear from some families of 4 that have 2 working parents. We’ve been thinking about having a 4th for a couple of years but never really made a decision! My dd’s are 8,7 and 5 (we had them close together) and all at school.

We both work full time, my work is flexible (no option from wfh though as it’s not that sort of job) and my husband works shifts.

If we had another I’d drop a day and work 4 days a week and my husband can work a lot of weekends to be around during the week.

My mum lives next door and is retired and I think we would be able to ask her to look after a baby 1 day a week and probably afford nursery 2 days per week.

My question to families with 4 children with working parents is basically does it work?! Is it possible or am I deluded?!!!

My girls are such little angels, get on so well, rarely argue and genuinely are pretty easy children to have around so from that point if view I can’t see any challenges as such.

Thanks in advance 😊
