[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I would never do it.  It is just your hormones talking, OP.  Your new baby would basically be raised as an only child by older parents and siblings who are like parents.  It isn't fair to your older kids.  I think you forget how many sleepless nights and crying jags there are.  [/quote]

Maybe. There were sleepless nights but my kids didn’t cry much as babies. People commented on it a lot at the time. It’s not just me suppressing it. One worry is that this baby will not be easy like the others. The pregnancies were easy, too.

As for the age difference, I truly loved having sisters 7 and 12 Years younger. I helped out a lot when they were little, taught them how to drive stick, and have so many fond memories of being the big sister. I still love it. I also have siblings 1 and 2 years apart. It’s a different relationship, but one that is really valuable-at least it has been to me (and the other older siblings in my family). [/quote]

You don't need to have another baby to continue having good memories of being a big sister.

Just because you loved being a big sister doesn't mean your girls will especially when they realize what it  means to have a baby in the house and they have to give everything up.

I concur with pp you need to find  another focus. You can't keep having babies forever eventually it ill be you nd your Dh.[/quote]
