        I notice that many parents who are not so worried about finances have 4 children. This is just in my circle of acquaintances.

              LOLMum,

              haha, thank you! 3 more months to go before I pop.

              No need to envy. Just do it... :evil:

                In an ideallic situation, I see a family picture complete with 2 sets of healthy doting grandparents, parents and 4 happy children in a lovely garden setting. In the background, hidden from view, are 2 dedicated helpers.


                Back to reality, in my picture, I see fatigued but thankful parents to 2 children crammed together in a 2 seater sofa.

                I have 2. If DH and I were not such ‘involved’ and ‘hands on’ parents, we would consider no 3. We love children but we are struggling financially and physically. Right now, we’re in survival mode. We won’t rule out adoption at a later stage but that’s another chapter yet to be written.

                  I oso so envious.

                  Unfortunately, sometimes, it is not as simple as 'just do it'.
