Should I go for #4?

[Jo+3]

I hope my question hasn't offended anyone. I have just thought about my query about having more children and I didn't mean to sound ungreatful for being blessed with 3 when I know others are struggling for 1. I think what is stopping me is my over annalytical mind. Was just interested in how others handle the logistics and financials with a large family.

Well we got some raised eyebrows and still do when we all go out but oh well

so far finacially we are no better or no worse off.. I am sure that will change when we have all in school

Jo, just remember that everyones situation is different and where you posted is the correct place for the ??? raised. It certainly has been very difficult emotionally and phyiscally with the MC's and time wise for me to fall pregnant with no4. I would hate to be starting at this age (40)otherwise this definately would not be an option. The feeling does'nt go away, I tried to fight it for a while, whether it is the biological clock ticking, saying this is the last chance who knows???? But it is a very strong urge!!!!! Starting to try again sooner rather than later is a great idea, your baby will be a nice age when the next one comes along. Heaps of luck to you.

i remember telling everyone when we were expecting bubs 4 there were some congrats alot of laughs and my god are you guys crazy and a few not so positive. What i will say is that the more you have the less help you need its a combination of if she wants 4 kids she can suck it up and well she really experienced so why help. Its not that another bubs is hard its easy but its the school/kindy /swimming/netball its the jugling of the things the others are doing so bubs gets dragged around a bit. The car is a issue as well i went from a vt commadore to a kia carnival.lol. And some friends seem to drop off the ones that dont like the brady bunch turning up but i dont care i love my life and it woulkd not have been complete without Ella she really is a great bubs and if i could i would of had more but the money would really been a prob as we dont have enough room for us now let along 5 i have to wonder what i will do in ten years time lots and lots of rum and coke i say go for it embrace the joy the warmth and the crazy life
