Hi guys,
My 2nd post on here after having big wobbly last week about my decision to stick at one!
Have read through quite few older posts and was wondering if any of you out there who, like me, made a choice to only have one child, rather than due to circumstances, health, age etc.
I fell pregnant first time last time with my DS and had a easy pregnancy. I guess in a way I feel lucky and at 35 feel I have some time left to decide.
But then the flip side of that is I sometimes feel even more guilty my son wont have a sibling. Completely my choice. My decision and in my hands. Gulp..
Hope this doesnt offend anyone who hasnt been able to have another, wanted, child, just looking to others in similar position. I cant stop feeling selfish and a crap mum cos others cope with 4 or 5 kids and I cant manage one! I do like my own company, peace and space and find my DS a real grind on my patience tbh. I wish I had the capacity to like being a mum more
