2 or 3 children - Real Mum story on MoM

11 Comments

I grew up in a large family and always said that I would never do that to myself. Very early on, my husband and I eecided on the magic number of 2 children. ‘One for each hand or one each’ we would say. Plus we love to travel and most packages come as a family of four.

I have had bub number one and we are trying for number two. But for some reason, a voice in the far back reserves of my brain is now thinking about a third child. I don’t know where it came from, but it’s niggling. Has this ever happened to you? How many children do you have and what are the pros and cons?

My magic number was two , one boy and one girl and very blessed I had them . It is easier to have children close together than many years apart as lifestyle/finances do change and how you cope may change as well. Hope you make a good decision anyway .

I also grew up in a family of five and like you always said I wouldn’t want to have a large family. I have one child and chances are due to circumstances I won’t have anymore. I used to lament over the fact that I won’t have anymore, but my goodness these days I’m just so grateful I have one as some people can’t have any.
