    I am an only child, I never really wanted kids. I have 2 and that is enough for me

    From a financial, house, car and lifestyle perspective we cut it pretty tight but I can work part time and we can still do what we want and live inner city.

    From an age and emotional perspective I think 2 is enough and I feel too old now to go through the baby phase again. I love the dynamic of my 2 girls and their relationship.

    I have three. I have always said that I wanted four children. I am very undecided at the moment as to whether I want more. We have a big house on acreage, we could afford to house and educate one more. I would need a new car, but that's not a huge deal (although I love my car!!). DH and I have work sorted out so that we both work but we don't need childcare, the kids always have one or the other of us at home.

    I'm not sure why I am not definite about having another? I feel probably 50/50 for/against. I'm almost 35 so I don't have forever to decide! DH is pretty much in the same headspace as me. We will decide over the next 12 months or so.

    I visited a psychic a few years ago and she told me there were two more souls waiting for me... DD2 is one of them! I can't just leave that other little soul waiting, can I??!!
