I know it’s been done to death (I think I’ve read every thread on here) - but please talk to me about having three children!
Currently have two small children with a 2y age gap. Youngest is almost a year old. I really want a 3rd child, and have done since my eldest was born.
It’s obviously early days, but I have been lucky to have loved motherhood more than I thought I would. Despite having a nice life and rewarding job prior to babies, they have given me a sense of purpose and contentment that I never felt beforehand. I want to bring a third member to their little team and get to nurture another person.
Am I being ridiculous? Everyone seems to think so when I mention I’d quite like another. If we had a third, I know it would be more difficult on a practical level, more expensive, more time out of my career, I’d be spread more thinly, another roll of the dice in terms of all the potential health risks to me/any future child. Why upset the applecart when I love what I have now? Knowing all of this doesn’t seem to be putting me off.
