I have 2 wonderful DS's (6 and 3) and my DH and I have not decided on whether we want another one or not. So here is my situation.
I am going to be 35 this year. Now I know that is not old by any means but I know they say having them after that age you run with higher risks. With my 1st DS, I had back problem through out the pregnancy. With my 2nd vericose veins. I do have existing back problem combined with being overweight which would make me run with I higher risk as well.
I am a stay at home mom, so we only have one income. It is okay we get by but we don't save as much as DH would like to be saving.
So here is my thing. We have said years ago that it we wanted 3, but now any time I bring it up and tell DH we need to talk about it, he says okay but then we never talk about it. I am having a hard time figuring out if he wants another one or not. Also, this past weekend I got to hold a 3 month old and I was not overcome with that feeling of I want another one. So now I don't know if I really want another one.
I mean don't get me wrong I would love the child just as much as my other 2 but with my other ones I had that feeling. So I guess I would just like to have your thoughts about what you would do if you were in my position.
Thank you and have a nice day.View Thread


As for the laundry, mine will only wash it if I have not and he needs clean work clothes other wise it is all me. I don't think he has done laundry in almost 6 months and that was because I was to sick to get out of bed. I can't complain though I am a SAHM so just one of the many things I take responsibility for to have the luxury of being with my boys all day.View Thread
