My DD is 2 years old and my absolute world, but I'm just wondering... How do you ladies know if another child is really right for you?
I have times when I feel desperately broody... Sad that the early days are over with DD, but loving all of the older bits too and would be happy to do them again... Not worried about sleepless nights, convinced I would regret it we didn't extend our family...
But as little as 24hours later I can feel the exact opposite! DH and I both work full time and I already don't see DD as much as I would like, I would hate to stretch that further. Financially we could have better things for us all, like gym memberships and holidays, if we didn't have another, and I already have days where I feel so exhausted I can barely look after myself and think having 2 to look after would be crazy!
I'm driving myself mad on this roller coaster... On the one hand I love the idea of the family set up we have now, with time for us both to pursue our careers and have some social time... But on the other hand my DD is my absolute world and I don't want to regret not having another.
How do you KNOW what is right for you?
