So after watching my friends baby all weekend (still have him) I think I changed my mind about having another baby. I want my son to have a sibling but at the same time I don’t want to do bottles and formula and up all nights and struggling with a car seat all with another child this time. Oh and teething. I don’t want to deal with that again. This baby is teething and it’s terrible. My son loves babies but this is the first time he’s ever had to deal with one for an extended period of time. And he was not happy about it at all!
I’d feel terrible and feel like my son would resent me if I had another baby. I know probably not true but I’m so close with my son I don’t want to lose that.
Does that make me selfish that I changed my mind ?

@johnell sounds exactly like what I have with my daughter. She was so easy too and she just wants mama. Now I have to try to juggle both because my husband can't stand to hear the baby cry and my daughter won't take anyone but me. It's so hard not just for me but for her. So don't feel selfish for a second. What you feel is totally real.
@mct, that’s so rough. I got lucky my son was so easy. He’s always slept decently didn’t have any problems no food allergies or anything. And I’m worried it wouldn’t be so easy the second time around. Plus my son is my baby and I don’t want him to feel like I’m pushing him aside or anything. Especially cause my son is a total mommy’s boy he doesn’t like his dad to do anything with him except play
You not selfish. Everything you are worried about are real issues. My daughter is having such a hard time with it. Having to tell her I can't do something because of the baby kills me. Her brother is high needs because of colic and yesterday she begged me to go somewhere without the baby crying. I almost broke. The poor kid is doing her best but it's so hard for us both.
@briannalynn547, yes I did mean selfish ! And I wanted more kids and I wanted my kids to be close but at the same time I just love that my son sleeps all night and can listen and do things for himself. I just don’t want not go backwards but I still feel like my sons going to be upset that he’s an only child if I make that choice.
Do you mean selfish? If so, no. Some people honestly are just so close with their first born that’s all they want to focus on and that’s totally fine ! Not everyone is meant for multiple kids (: honestly I know I want more kids , but I know my kids are gonna be so far apart because I’m just so obsessed with my son. Literally the love of my life and i just wanna worry about him for awhile . Definitely not having another til he’s atleast 5
@johnell, I dont think so , just make sure you don’t over spoil him and turn him into a brat lol. My aunt did that and her daughter is literally 17 and the spawn of Satan lol
