[quote=Anonymous]I have two great kids, wanted three, but age and multiple miscarriages and where my DH is on the matter at this point are having me take a hard look at re-evaluating family size goals. Friends who I have asked who stopped at whatever number earlier than they had hoped to, all tend to come around to a theme of double down on being happy with the family you have. I’m not “unhappy” per se, but the transition from “trying” for another and the optimism and planning that comes with it….was making us plan differently in ways I can’t quite explain. Car size, summer plans (when two months ago I thought I was having a baby in August.) There has been a lot of grief, but also I don’t want to miss out on the children I have and the stages of life they are in. I fantasize about walking away from my very stressful but meaningful job because of how it pulled my attention from my family over the last few years. Open to all recommendations for this stage of life. [/quote]
