me and dp have been having discussions about having a 2nd child. we always come back to same issues, mainly that we dont have much money, would find maternity pay/childcare crippling 2nd time around, live in a small rented flat which we cant afford to move out of, and also dp, (and me to a certain extent) doesnt really want to ho through all the baby stuff again. all good, sound reasons for sticking with one, who we can just about afford to have holidays with, pay for school trips for etc.
so how do I stop myself being so bloody broody all the time!? I know another child wouldnt be best thing for our family but still cant stop thinking about it and imagining it. I wish I could just switch those feelings off! doesnt help that ds has asked me several times recently about having a baby brother or sister. grrrr, damn hormones.
