[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an unplanned fourth (BC failure--but what difference does it make?). I had so many misgivings, and was very worried about my age and my ability to handle four--pretty much until the baby was born. [b]Thankfully I wasn't worried about the financial part [/b]and, surprisingly, my husband took the news totally in stride. I am not going to lie, though. It wasn't easy.  She was not an easy baby, super attached, wanted to nurse all night long. You know how everyone says that the youngests in big families will go with the flow because they have to? Not mine! You have to know and accept that the child might not have read the rule book about "bonus babies."
But for me, once I had her in my hands, everything changed and every misgiving evaporated. She is 8 now and is such a spunky, energetic character. I can't imagine life without her. [/quote]

This makes your experience irrelevant to the OP.

Having a fourth would be a huge financial burden on OP, her DH and her existing children. There is zero safety net in this country. If you can afford a kid, you’ve already got 75% of the hardship. The rest is just getting your head around it and planning. Easy.
