How to gauge if I can handle more?
I'm disabled. I get tired more easily than some people. Winter is especially exhausting. I want a second baby and I watch videos of two under two or having a toddler and a newborn and it seems so doable...
But then I remember I am me, and wonder how to know if /I/ could handle it.

Depends on the disability. I have pretty severe Rheumatoid arthritis, I have a 15, 6, and 3 year old. I love my children with my whole being, but I feel incredibly guilty that I'm unable to physically care for them the way i want too, i.e. run around, wrestle, take long walks, things like that. My pain causes me to be irritable and exhausted. I would also look into if the disability can be passed on to your children. I unfortunately didn't have any symptoms until my last one was born, and this crap can be genetic.

I know I personally could not, probably. How’s about trying out a nanny position?
