Hi sisterhood.
I'm on the fence about having baby number 5. It's been brought up in conversation alot recently and the most part of me is for it but then the smaller part of me is like sometimes 4 kids is enough.
Those of you with bigger family's how do you find it? Financially, day to day with 5 kids, your sanity? š
A big car or house wouldn't be an issue we already have the extra space.

I had 8. But that was 25 years ago. I wouldn't do it today. Theres too many setbacks such as covid, finances, and support . In my day things were simple. Not so much anymore.
I have five. There is no difference between having four or five
Having another delays the next phase of life, kids becoming more independent, career, study, hobbies, other stuff.
Are you afraid of moving to the next phase?
Wow
Hats off to all parents. I had 3 with 8 years between oldest to youngest and by the time the last was finishing school I really felt like I had been running around after kids and school drop offs, lunches, sport, music etc etc for a life time and was really ready for the next phase of life.
We are all different so just another thing to think about. Although I do miss the younger years of kids Iād not want to do it again unless Iām granny ;)
