Family Size

Really struggling with the three kids I have at the moment and what being open to life means in practicality. I don’t want to be pregnant again right now and maybe never. My last pregnancy was so hard and my current one year old is the most challenging kid. I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it. Sicknesses take weeks to work their way though the whole daily I don’t know how large families cope. I would just choose to not have relations, but that seems unfair to my spouse. I used to want a big family and I feel like I’m broken. I want to be faithful to the church but it’s so much harder than I ever imagined. I just needed to be honest about this somewhere with faithful Catholic women because I’m afraid to tell my friends in real life. The no. Catholic ones won’t get it and most of my Catholic friends I’m afraid to talk to about this.
