Sorry if this is a long one.. I'm new to this
I have 2 dds (8 & 12) from a previous relationship, my husband has been in their lives for the past 7 years, he does not have an bio children but adores my girls.
Last year we suffered an ectopic pregnancy (failed iud) and since then I just cannot shake the feeling of wanting another child. My husband would love to but he has his worries about space, the girls bedrooms are one master bedroom converted Into 2 bedrooms, own windows, radiators and doorways, eldest has the double & youngest has the box room and we have the other double bedroom. We are not in a position to move and we are not getting any younger however we are concerned about how to go about the bedrooms. The girls have never shared a room and now I'm thinking am I being really unfair on them by having another child and making one share, or even risk making them feel pushed out? Just to add my girls are always asking about another sibling and have no objection to one sharing. But as they become teenagers this may change....
My girls also spend 3 nights a week at their dads house.
Has anyone been in this situation? Am I thinking way to much I to this
There's always doubts when thinking about having a baby or another baby. Can I afford this? Do we have space etc . I think that these things always work themselves out, unless there's a major issue, like a big finance issue, or a big space issue. I think you will find that plenty of siblings end up sharing a room. I think asking 3 to share a room isn't doable, but in your case it's only asking two of them to share. plus they can have respite from sharing when they go to their dads 3 times a week. (Assuming they have a room each at their dads.) I don't think this should be enough to stop you having another baby when you really want one.
