shall i have another baby?

Question

i already have 2 beautiful children and would love one more but not sure if can financially afford it.

we are ok financially, but i would not want to return to work full time which may put a strain on our finances. i would not want to feel pressure into returning full time

Answer 1

So don't.

Answer 2

If it is going to put more financial burden on the family then I would say no. You said you have 2 children already so be happy with them and make sure they have a full and happy life.

Answer 3

If you're not sure that you can make your budget work for an additional child then that's not a good idea financially. That would put a lot of stress on you and your other children having to deal with caring for a child that you've had that puts you beyond your means of living comfortably.

Answer 4

I would wait. You can always have another baby later when you are more financially stable. It's not fair to the children to have to do without things they need. I think I'd be happier being able to provide well for two kids then stretching my budget and not providing well for three.

Answer 5

Let's face it, if everybody waited til they were financially stable to have kids then there be a dramatic decrease in population. If u didn't have a child at all i would say have a baby and u will make do when it gets here, us parents always find a way to take care of our babies. But with u already having 2 children i would say no, i personally wouldn't have another if money is tight. I'd be spending that money on the 2 kids i already have.

Answer 6

Another baby for you umm No. In fact I think this world should be on hold on producing babies for the next five years. This world as whole cannot continue to support all the children that we are bringing into this world. Ask yourself this...why would you want another child to bring into this world when they would grow up in poverty. HMMMM not cool. Isn't the dream to make your child's life better than you had it growing up and poverty will do this....no...plus with the end of the world coming would you want them to live through those horrible times. I think not so remeber have him cover the stump before he humps.

Answer 7

consider this, havin g a beautiful baby is one thing, not being able to look after that beautiful baby and giving it a life that is less than he or she is entitled to is another. assess your financial situation before attempting this drastic and life changing step into the unknown. would you rather have two kids you can comfortably raise finacially, or three kids that struggle to make through each day because there is no money. soon enough your kids will be all grown up and you can play granny to their babies.

Answer 8

Are you married or attached? Shouldn't the father have some opinion, or say in this?

Unilateral decisions on matters like this don't make for happy homes.

If you're not attached -- if you can't afford a child, don't have one. You want to be able to provide well for the two you already have, don't you?

Answer 9

Go ahead and have your last baby, if you don't you will regret it later, now is lots of ways to go around the financial thing, everyone can afford their kids you just have to be creative about it. Like keep all your kids clothing ready for the next little growing one, coupons for food items, and fun things to do that doesn't required lots of money.. is always a way, don't cut your self short if you want another baby, you can do it.. Good luck.

Answer 10

Then the simple answer is no. Knowingly putting your children at risk of growing up in poverty, when you can prevent it, is basicly abuse. Do whats best for them. Get a dog and get over the baby fever.

Answer 11

You should limit yourself to two only. That way you will not be adding to the Earth's already overwhelming population growth. And you want quality of life, not quantity of life. Let your 2 kids have quality.
