wonderful

Wow… awesome have 4 kids and still want more. Good luck.

i think you’ll just know at the time

I had 3 children then got my tubes clamped i ended up divorcing my then husband and remarrying my new husband never had children and we both agreed that neither of us wanted another one till we were about 2 years into our marriage we ended up having to have IVF and now have a little boy (4 years old now) i would love to have another child but know we could never afford another round of IVF.
I guess what I’m saying is you can never be 100% sure that enough is enough.

You are amazing. I feel like I don’t have the patience to have more than I have. My husband always wanted more than 3 but one we had 3 he said ok that is enough.

Some mum’s like you could probably have ten kids and feel at home, not feel stressed or overwhelmed. Myself, I wasn’t a natural mum, I had to work really hard at it. My two are 4 and 5. Sleep for eleven hours a night, wipe their own buttoms and shower themselves. That’s my decision made. Good luck.

I think you will need a serious sit down talk with your husband and come to a decision that you both agree upon!

you will know for sure in your heart when you do not want to have any more children.

I don’t want anymore but am looking forward to the day of becoming a grandma. To me I got to the point where I enjoy my sleep, I enjoy my free time, I enjoy being able to relax, I now just love me time when my youngest is at school. I do occasionally babysit for family and just recently had my 6 week old nephew over for the night and he was very good but my hubby and I tagged teamed with everything. The next day the feeling of just being able to relax without any worry was AMAZING.

Sounds like an interesting story not sure what sort of advice you are looking for but I would like to think you know when you are done though I have never felt like I am but my youngest is 6 now so thats a big gap, we shall see 🙂

  thanks, just felt like i needed to say it.

we have 1 and I want atleast 4 🙂 I think you just need to do what feels right

I think as long as you can handle it financially, have as many kids as you want, just make sure its a mutual decision, so there will never be any resentment.
