I feel like I’m trying to convince myself
I came here wanting people to tell me what the benefits of having two children are, because honestly, I can’t really find any. I come from a family where sibling relationships basically don’t exist. Not on my dad’s side, not on my mom’s side, and not even between me and my own brother. In fact I remember how much my own quality of life deteriorated when my brother was born, so it’s really hard for me to imagine that giving my daughter a sibling would actually be something positive for her.
But then I also think maybe I’m just trying to look for reasons to change my mind and have another child, especially because my husband desperately wants a second baby, and I can see how much the idea of not having more children is breaking him.
I don’t know… I’d really appreciate any advice. These past few months have been really hard because it’s basically now or never if we want to try to get pregnant again.
