Hello I have two beautiful children, but I have this nagging feeling to have a third child. I am probably not going to have another because I'm worried how it will affect my two kids
Now they both get enough attention from me
And they both get enough love and both feel special
If I bring another child into our lives would they miss out? I would also like any advice from people who grew up with siblings and how did you feel did you feel left out less loved etc? And also do you get along with your siblings now that ur an adult? I was an only child
Thank you

I am the eldest and have two younger brothers, there was four years between me and the second, ten years between me and the third.
I’ve always been closer with the second as in, we played together and had that brother sister relationship and had a “motherly” type of relationship with the third because I was that much older. We are still all pretty close as adults.
I have two kids, girl and boy, and I know I am not done. I’d love four, just for the balance as I do feel like three there is an odd one BUT I don’t think that’s realistic.
Regardless, I feel like you make do with what you have or haven’t got. Your kids will adjust regardless and you’ll love all your children with the same utmost love as always
If you can have more and want more go for it. They will be fine. You may regret not doing so in later years. I only have one child but will be having another in a few years. I just feel like 1 more baby is waiting for me to give life to her or him. My son is much loved and will still be much loved.
I think if you want a third you should go for it. I grew up with 1 sister 3 years older than me and always wanted a baby sibling xx
