Hi everyone, Currently I have a 18 months toddler, both me and hubby are working but not earning a lot. I can say I like my life the way it is now. However, I have recently tested positive with baby #2 and I have been thinking how our lives will change. How I am unable to give 100% attention to #1 who is very close with me. How am I to manage both alone as hubby works on weekends and my parents are old and may not be able to help much. In laws is helping with my SIL kids and wasn't even keen to help with #1 when she was a new born. I managed #1 all by myself with minimum help from my own parents and it's really very tiring.
Finance wise, I don't think we have much to save if #2 comes along.. with childcare fees and daily necessities expenses, it makes me really scared. I have plans for #2 but that's when my #1 is at least 3 or 4 years old whereby she could help me to take care of the younger sibling (e.g watching #2 while I prepare their meals, go toilet etc.)
I am not sure what should I do and I don't know who to speak to... I am so upset that I keep crying. I know I shouldn't feel like this baby is going to be a burden but I can't help it. I wish to have more time with #1 ....
Anyone in similar situation? How did u manage to overcome?
