Anybody ever wanted a second child but felt guilty for it? I keep telling myself if I have another one my son won’t get as much as my attention and he’ll feel left out and not as loved🙄 why must I over think everything. (Kinda hard to put it in words of what I’m trying to say but y’all get the point)

Me!! I decided I didn’t want anymore kids after my first (he was about ten months when I finally decided) because I felt guilty taking time away from him a week later I found out I was pregnant and I went threw depression really bad my whole pregnancy and honestly my oldest still gets just as much attention and there the best of friends there always together

I felt extremely guilty for wanting another baby. My husband and family kept reminding me how nice it was for us to have our siblings and the good times to be had. I decided to wait until my daughter was a year and a half to start trying for another one. Now I'm excited at the thought because I know what a great helper she will be!!

I have always wanted a ton of kids but after having my first, I definitely know what you mean about the guilt. It makes it especially hard now that I work at my daughters’ daycare. She sees me holding and playing with other babies and still gets EXTREMELY jealous and cries until I hold her. Makes it hard to want more in fear of upsetting her forever or making her feel unloved or unwanted by me 😭

@bitchcraft, I asked myself those same questions about Aria. Like, I don’t know how it would be possible to love another child as much as I love her. Even if that child is mine. BUT I think this is all in our heads because we can’t fathom loving another baby so much. Once that little one is in your arms, you will melt, I promise you that. You’re a great mom and your son will adjust and be an amazing big brother!
Plus, I’m second born and I’m DEFINITELY my parents favorite. So... it’s possible 😘😂
