I don't know where else to post this but, has anyone been in a situation where you want another child, but feel like for various reasons in life, you couldn't or shouldn't? I have two children. A son who will be 7 this summer and he has significant special needs (nonverbal autistic), and a daughter who will be 4 this summer. I would really love another but for a few reasons I know it wouldn't be the smart thing to do. My number one reason for not moving forward is finances. Also my husband seems like he is done as well (he will be 40 this year, I will be 35). There is also the unknown if another child would also have special needs. Yesterday my daughter said to me, "mommy when I turn 4, I am going to have a sister". I guess I am just sad...
