I don’t mean to judge but I’m genuinely curious as to how some of y’all can have a baby under 1 and get pregnant w a second?? Or those of you that have like 5+ kids?? Again not judging but genuinely curious, why make things even harder for yourself?? I could never 😭😭
Edit: I don’t mean to make it sound like motherhood is just such a hard thing to do, I love it! Definitely hard sometimes and personally I wouldn’t be able to handle more than one baby at a time. But those of you who do, more power to you mama! Y’all have my respect because I wouldn’t be sane 😭
Because that’s not how some ppl want it. Some like the way it felt to have a sis or bro so close in age and that’s what they want for their family. I understand where u coming from I look at my kids like damn how did I get to 4 so quickly. But I was depending on hubby pull out game (weak asf) so that how we got our last but it was a boy so we happy and now r fam is complete.
I have 4 and i found it was harder when i had one cause i was learning everything was new but now with four it can be challenging sometimes but not hard
I thought I only wanted one myself, but I got married to my soul mate later in life (32) and it took us 4 years to have our son. When he came out I knew I wanted at least one more. We are actively trying and hopefully will be able to have one more before it’s too late. I have lots of friends who have 2 or more and the thought of having 2 young ones at the same time freaks me out a bit, but so did having one at times. It was an adjustment and would again be a adjustment to having two. But woman are amazing and wonderful creatures and we adapt and overcome to fulfill roles we never thought we could. Mothers with multiple children are super heros in my book.. ❤️
I’m 9 months pregnant & my kid is 1. I feel long as my husband & I are the ones taking care of them & providing for them shouldn’t be any problems to others😊 yes sometimes my pregnancy gets alil rough & I get exhausted fast so I will vent, but I’m strong & I can’t wait to have the family of my own I never had. Definitely not hard taking care of children though somethings u just learn as u go.
Congratulations!! You are definitely strong and you got this! As long as you’re a happy family that’s all that matters 😊❤️
My last 2 (my son and my unborn) were not planned. But it happens like that sometimes. God doesn't give you what you can't handle. You just gotta roll with it.
I want a big family. Some of us want more than one. This is number 3 and prob my last due being in my 30s. I wish I would have had them earlier so I could have 6. My daughter was just 1 when I got pregnant with this baby. I don’t see it as making things harder. Going from none to 1 was hard, 1 to two was easy. What’s adding more on ? You already got the mom life down. I also don’t think I miss out on any of their phases because I’m preoccupied. I still get to be a part of every phase and stage. I’m happy my kids will have each other.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I totally get what you mean and hey if you’re happy that’s all that matters! It’s great hat you’d kids will always have each other 😊❤️
I have 9 and nothings hard for me. Mothering and nurturing comes natural to me. The more the better. I got a lot of love! I always wondered how some e could stop at 1? Or not have any. Its like hmmm I had a kid oops. Never again (not towards the wen TTC & can't)
Wow! 9!! That’s a lot haha pbut hey you’re happy and you love it that’s great. I personally feel like I’d go crazy w that many kids, I planned mine and have always said I would stop at 2 if I had a second pregnancy. I just don’t have all that patience 😅
Some of us didn’t have a choice... I’m grateful for the one perfectly amazing little boy I have. 💜
@scruffy.nerf.herder I know some people Dont have a choice that's why I put (notntowardd women TTC or can't ) Idk why it put wen I need to start checking before I post stuff
🤣🤣🤣 I was going to say you can have a basketball tournament with only your kids. 3x3
It's not hard on everyone, alot of us dont see motherhood in such a manner! how you feel about something, doesnt mean the next person feels the same.
It's a personal decision.
I completely understand! I didn’t mean to make it sound like motherhood is just hard all the time I just personally wouldn’t have the patience and energy for too many kids. I like having one baby, I have patience for one small creature at a time lol either the baby or the dog. Imagine if I had two babies! I’d cry 😭 but those who are happy with more than 2 then great for you! You all have my respect I could never
@nalexxandra understandable, not everyone wants or can handle 2 or more and that's fine, it's your personal choice. 🙂
I think it makes a difference if you grew up in a huge family. Like if you have a ton of siblings you want that for your kids. Or even if you were an only child, you want a playmate for your kid. I'm good with two 🤣
Idk lol my mom had 6 kids, We’re a pretty big family and I definitely do not want more than 2 kids 😭 I hated having so many little kids around me, maybe it’s cuz I’m the oldest 🤷🏻♀️😂😂
@nalexxandra definitely is a different feel if you aren't close in age. My youngest sibling is 10 years younger than me. He is the loner of the siblings because he has nobody close in age with him.
@bodybycheetos, I feel it’s also because my mom had boy & girl alternated. It’s me (20) my brother (18) my sister (15) brother (14) & twin girls (11). Were close in age just the wrong gender 😂😂 the little ones are the only ones who are always together for obvious reasons lol
Your superfertile when you have kids definitely the first year. And some pll just like having a big family and want all them kids my mom had 5 and adopted 2
If my body didn't hate me I would have 3 kids already. To each there own lol
I always wanted a few but I dont think I could do 5
.....some are stronger than others and some situations are not meant for others if you have the means for it or not not sure if it really matters but things happen some want a big family?? And want their kids to grow up together...#ijs
I think it just depends on where you're at in your life. Some people prefer it that way and totally love having multiple young children at the same time so they can grow and learn together. It makes it easier for them personally rather than starting all over again with the baby stuff after their kids grow out of it.
I can only speak for myself not everyone but I’ll have 3 under 3 soon, it’s gonna be tough but better for me in the long run I’ll be 26 and completely done having babies, I’m lucky enough to be able to stay home with them until they are old enough for school then can go back to school if I want or work. I don’t want to get my body back just to have another baby and then start over either but everyone’s different!
I understand what you mean, I’m glad you get to spend all that time with them 😭❤️ I don’t want to go back to work but imma have to soon 🥺 Personally I’m okay with just one, I might want a second one in the future but in my opinion I would prefer my daughter to be in school when I choose to have a second kid. That way I got to enjoye each phase fully one by one instead of missing out on her as a toddler because I’m too preoccupied with a newborn. That’s just me tho, like you said everyone’s different! 🤷🏻♀️😊😊
@nalexxandra, oh yeah I get it, everyone’s different I don’t think there’s a right way or a wrong way just whatever works best for you and your family😊
Same! I think I might want a second in the future but as of right now I’m good 😅
