[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone one and done on the kid front after realizing that DH was not as egalitarian as previously thought?

We’ve been up and down on this question. DC is 7 and claims to want a sibling. [b]Although I think the kid is underestimating how little they will enjoy sharing time/attention/resources. [/b]They already have pets.

DH has definitely grown as a parent, but I’m still doing 80% of the mental load for family management. I’m 40, this year feels like the final year that I’d be willing to consider another kid. I do want another, sometimes. But also the reality of how much kids cost. I’ve done SAHM, I prefer working so childcare is a real consideration.

My family doesn’t feel like anything is missing, but it doesn’t feel complete either. At what point is it just time to call it? [/quote]
I know it’s not a decision for the child to make in this situation, but what a bizarre attitude you have towards a child gaining a sibling. Very transactional, mercantile, and un-human.[/quote]
