Oh, I’m so clucky! But...

The reality is, unless we win lotto or get in the money somehow, there's no hopes of doing anything about that.

There used to be this part of me that was like, no, never again, 2 is enough! And this other part, which is like, I've worked so hard to get my figure back, I don't want to have another baby/pregnancy ruin it. Yeah slightly selfish thinking, I know!

But yeah, feelings change, desires change. But reality hasn't changed and neither has the financial situation.

So who is in the same boat?

I think I'll just have to accept that this is reality and I may not ever be in a position to have anymore babies.

Funny how majorly life can change! I used to never wants babies, but then, I turned 23 and decided, I wanted a baby. And after having her, I said, never again! But by the time she was 6 months, I had changed my tune and thought, maybe one more. I had baby #2 and was like, this will be my last! And what do you know, here I am, like many I suspect, thinking, oh, maybe I could handle 1 more.

Slightly different but I also am super clucky and would LOVE another one.
But currently very much single without much chance of that changing anytime soon .

Im sorta undecided on that one. For ages I was like I don't think I can do it all over again. Now I think, one day I will be able to do it again. But I know that even if I wanted to have another baby right now it wouldn't be responsible as things would be too tight financially. We make it all work now but I think having another would stretch it too far, and therefore cause stress and I'd like next time around to be a bit less stressful than #1 has been. But yeah I was looking back on pics of bub in the early days just now and I was like OMG he used to be so teeny, where did it all go.

hmm yeah I would like a 3rd and unless our financial situation changes it likely wont happen.

I'm crazy clucky too. I'd love a #3 but as above money would be tight. I'm also a wee bit older than you guys by the sound of it, I can hear my clock ticking - lol
Still, I'd go for #3 if DH was into it. I figure the last generation often had 4 or more and way less stuff so it must be doable.

I'm crazy super clucky. It isn't going to happen in the next year or so though, and I know that (I am in a new relationship, so waaaaaaaaaay too soon hahaha). Hopefully it will happen though, when the time is right

If you drive here I will Sharlene

I'm cool with that

If I aren't have anymore I'm more then happy to borrow them

that just makes me a little sad, now i want at least 2 more. it was great being a kid/teenager in a family of 4 kids.

I'm like Febgirl & Minik8e, I can not actually be arsed with all this pregnancy crap and baby stuff....I want to morph a 2-3 year old. I want my kids to have more siblings than I ever had & to enjoy that.

We've decided it's not really about us & so what if we don't have the latest "things" we'll afford our kids no matter what.

escadachic, so you're approximately 30??....you've still go time up your sleeve.
