|  isycait | Nov 18, 2007 7:56am | | I really want to have another my clock is ticking, my domestic circumstances aren't great but they are better than they were when I got pregnant with my daughter. (God I hate the phrase 'Fell pregnant - as if you could') Is it selfish to spread my tiny amount of time thinner or does it just matter that I have an unlimited amount of love to offer? READ MY BLOG to understand why I might be hesitating... |

| | lmc3 | Feb 15, 9:23am | 3 months later... Cait, have you made any decisions regarding your family planning? I think this subject largely depends upon the temperament and personalities of the existing children and both parents, as well as existing schedules and commitment to the new child(ren).
In our case, we had triplets(BGB) intitially. Three years later, we had another daughter (unplanned). The chemistry with 2 boys with similar interests, and two daughters (also similar interests) helped ease the parenting process, I believe. They still have their sibling tiffs, but that's normal, and nothing major. Sometimes more IS better, as long as it's not more than you can handle. I'm not interested in any more! |

| | Guru80 | Jun 29, 8:57pm | Ok so it is an OLD post.
I have a 2 year old girl, 3 year old boy and 5 year old girl. Going from 1 to 2 was harder than 2 to 3. When their mother and I were still together it wasn't an issue. She ended up having drug problems and what not and up and moved to Texas one day and I have raised them alone ever since (little more than 2 years, youngest was only a month old) and then it is a whole different story. It isn't bad at all now but I didn't know what to do there for a bit! |
