I think I’m more than happy with my one daughter.
But every now and then I entertain the thought of another child because I miss pregnancy/newborn stage but then remember how difficult toddlers are. How comfortable we are and less money means less freedom. I worry I’ll regret not having anymore! It’s so hard.

I’m in the same boat, I want another one. But I also know the quality of life I can give her as an only child far outweighs my need for another baby.
It’s not completely off the table but I know I can afford a good life for her, where she’ll never need for anything, have all my attention, we’ll be able to afford multiple holidays a year if we really wanted to. And I think that quality of life is much better.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t long for something that was so beautiful.
But do what’s right for yourself and your family and you’ll have no regrets x
Honestly, this was me. I thought there's no way I could manage a baby on top of a nearly 3 year old, but here we are 🤣 Almost 3 year old and an 8 week old, and honestly I've never been happier!! But everyone's circumstances are different, and I would have been more than happy with just the one 🥰

How does your male partner wash his face?
Do you think men should wash their faces with a cleanser too?

Lonely
So I'm posting this incognito because honestly I feel like a right loser.
I used to have friends I always had someone to talk to, to go out with, to have a text to reply to. I literally would do anything I could to help anyone. Then I moved to be with my husband and lost afew of them but made some more at work. Then we moved and had our children and one by one lost everyone I tried to meet up with people but when people forget about you, forget they made plans with you and don't turn up, are too tired to meet up, say they will see you and never arrange it, it all gets a bit too much and I stopped trying with them because at the end of the day it was me upset not them.
Now I don't work so can't make friends that way, I stay at home with my children, I have them, my husband and my mum to talk to.
School has been open 3 days now and everyday I see people talking, me I stand there by myself, I say hello how are you they answer but walk past. Yesterday I stood waiting and may as well have been invisible people just joined the queue in front of me.
I've met people on here one I thought was going to be a great friend but she turned nasty others just haven't progressed to anything. Honestly I don't know what's wrong with me I don't know why I'm the one stood alone. What's wrong with me. I think I just needed to put that all into words and I also hope it helps someone. If you see someone by themselves at the school gates smile, say hello, include them in your conversation because we don't know what others are going through or how they are feeling.
