I feel the same way, just not able to cope with whatever my daughter will need at that stage and a baby. I must mention I have struggled to cope with what most would describe a very easy baby lol! I feel that I cannot push myself and then have to pick up the pieces of something I expected might happen, we will all pay the price for that. Although I am one of two, my sister is 14 years younger and I moved away at 18 so not really familiar with having siblings.
We have also struggled, our baby has always been hard work! She still wakes multiple times a night and we are totally exhausted all the time so I can understand where you are coming from. It is much harder than I imagined too and the thought of another baby right now is just a no go for us! We would like her to have a sibling but really not sure we could cope with another baby any time soon x
@Claudia my baby is “easy” apparently too, which makes me feel worse about struggling to cope. I struggle to deal with disruptions to routine: they make me feel angry and panicked. I know she’s so little but I don’t know how to keep appointments/social engagements if she doesn’t nap/eat when she usually does. She’s missed out on so much because I’ve cancelled plans over anxiety 😞
Honestly, I could have written this! I'm one of two, as is my partner, and we have always said we want two. However, as much as I love my LO, I have found motherhood HARD and have genuinely questioned whether having a second is worth it x
