Thinking about having a 3rd child.?

Question

my hubby and I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old, we have been thinking about having another child but we are unsure due to many reasons. We have the room and the love and are even able to afford another child but my last pregnice was hard and my hubby doesnt want to see me go thru that again, also we would be back to diapers and bottles while the other 2 kids are in school. I am a stay at home mom already.

I guess the question is, do you think the age difference between the kids and the new baby would be to much?

Answer 1

nope it s not too much.......i have an 8 year old and a 9 year old and im pregnant with # 3 and i love being pregnant and sharing the excitement with my boys!!! they make it so beautiful they talk to my belly and ask how big the baby is every day ...go for it !

Answer 2

I'm pregnant w/ # 3. My two girls are 9 and 11. I love that they are older and able to help me out! I'm having a difficult pregnancy and they are so good about doing little things for me.

I say go for it!

Answer 3

I had my 3rd when my oldest was 9 and my second was 6.  The best thing about it was that they were at such a great age when I had him.  They were eager to help and they were old enough to understand that I had to give alot of attention to the baby.  Now that my 3rd is 2, the 2 older ones love to teach him new stuff.  They really love him unconditionally and I probably would have lost my mind without their help.

Answer 4

the age difference it fine. having a new baby around brings so much joy. the kids will love it!

Answer 5

the 5 year old might get a little jealous because there would be a little baby around... but there probably would be big conflicts with them until the baby is around 5

Answer 6

Go far it ! my husband and i separated our 3 kids ages our two daughters are 4 years apart . our son 8yr from middle daughter and oldest daughter 12 his Junior. yes they are grown now .
