Personal choice.

Just need a rant really 🙈 What is it with people? I’m sure it’s harmless and people genuinely are curious but what’s with the constant expectation to have more kids. Yes I have 2 kids with different fathers and yes they are 10 years apart and in an ideal world I’d have 2.4 children who are 2 years apart obviously one of each 🙄 who grow to to be best of friends and don’t feel lonely or end up with “only child syndrome” but that didn’t happen. My circumstances didn’t allow. I don’t WANT another baby even though family/friends/society’s comments make me feel I should. Almost making me feel like a selfish person for not giving my LO a close sibling. Jeez. I love having the big age gap for some many reasons and I just wish we lived in a world where we didn’t get judged all the time on our choices. I love my kids and am trying to be the best mum I can, why can’t that be enough ❤️

I feel this on so many levels! My husband wants a third. We have two already with a five year age gap. My oldest is from a previous marriage. And our youngest is obviously from my husband. But I’m on the fence about having a third.

People are just thoughtless sometimes

My partner and I are one and done, we knew we only wanted one before we started trying to conceive and now that we have our little girl we haven't changed our mind and my partner has actually had the snip now... However whenever we tell anybody we only want the one they look at us as if we have personally offended them 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Other people’s opinions are irrelevant! 10years age gap, so what? How about 13? 🤣 I had my son at 16, being a mum carved me into the person I am today, he’s my best friend, passed all his exams, is in college and working part time and has his driving test in August - so I’m super proud. I was adamant not to be the stereotypical young mum and I hit it out the park! 5years ago, I had my daughter. (It’s true what they say about the first child being really well behaved and the second being crazy imo!) Both my children absolutely adore each other. My daughter looks up to my son, respects him, listens to him and my son treats her as if she’s a little princess and will step up if I need a little help with something. I often wonder what if I had two children close together, then I think to myself, would I have been able to give both of them ALL of the attention they needed, things like that. I love the age gap 🤍🤍

You are enough ❤️
