Arch mans mum

I am one of four and we are all close. I always assumed I'd have at least 2 children, even 4 at one point. DH was always unsure whether he wanted children (he has a daughter from a previous marriage who was used as bait when they divorced) after we married, we spoke about it and decided to try. After Archie was born, I was on cloud 9, and DH was very hands on. Then he had a career change and became a chef. Now he's ALWAYS at work, and we hardly see him. Archie is almost 15 months, and hard work, I feel like a single parent. I take my hat off to all the single parents out there, but it's not what I signed up for or expected, what with being a married woman. I've spoken to DH and said unless he changed his job/hours then I wouldn't have another, and I don't believe I'd manage. Or maybe I fear I wouldn't be able to give them both the time and attention they deserve. This breaks my heart though. I worry that Archie will be lonely growing up. I'm 34 next week, so not getting any younger.
