‘One and done’ guilt

If it makes you feel any better, there are many times, particularly in this specific phase/age, where I have felt guilty for giving my eldest a sibling...

Nothing wrong with focusing all of your love, time and resources on the child you already have- don’t have a second child simply because you think your first could be missing out on something, for every what if/maybe of having multiple children there will also be a positive for choosing not to.

I’m one and done. No guilt here.

Apart from the fact my husband is dead set against it ….

I watch my mummy friends struggle to juggle all their children and I don’t because I only need to concentrate on one. I don’t envy them in the slightest.

It also allows me to give my boy the quality of life he deserves. I was raised fairly impoverished and had to share the very little I had. My boy will never struggle financially (hopefully) and he will have access to so much that I didn’t. Anymore children would compromise that.

Also I never ever want to be pregnant again. That was a horrendous traumatising experience for me.
