DH and I are having a bit of a dilemma at the moment and your advice and any thoughts would be gratefully received. We have decided to go for dc3, we have 2 ds aged 7 and 3. I am currently in a job that I am not enjoying but the pay is ok. We have been saving for the past year so that I can do a 3 year course and retrain. The problem is that although it is something that I want to do it would mean being away for 26 weekends out of the year for 3 years. Also the extra work to do out of university etc.
Our dilemma is do we have a dc3 now and delay the course or even forget about it completely and use the money to do stuff around the house (we are currently renovating a house so the money would be very useful), or start the course and have a year out in the middle to have dc3. We don't want to leave it for much longer than a year due to the age gap with other children and also dh's age, he is 10 years older than me. What do you think??
