Having another kid - Already have 2 boys. Am I mental?
Discussion
Wife said she would like another kid yesterday, we already have a 2 year old and a 4 year old.
It seems we were finally getting our normal lives back lol. I was a bit Er..... How can I put it? Lukewarm to the idea.
But having had a sleep and now it's playing on my mind. Is three the magic number?
There is no doubt kids are expensive. Very expensive. But should cost be a prohibitive factor? What about time, or lack of!!!!
Anyone here regretted a third?
We are both in decent jobs, have some liquidity, our own house etc.

This is my sister, currently she has 2; 5 and 8 years old, a boy and a girl.
She is desperate for more, however my BIL isn't, he is always throwing up obstacles, usually involving him retraining for work for the past 3 years so money is tight, however he has come to the end now and money is getting better so he needs to think of another excuse.
I don't really know what it will achieve having another, (well more actually as I think she wants 4) her 2 are becoming more and more independent and I am pretty sure the youngest wouldn't like to have to share his mothers affections with a baby. They have a small and very cluttered 3 bed house and won't be able to afford to move, she is also 38 and her husband 39, why would you want to saddle yourself with a baby at knocking on 40!!
How old are you OP?
