Hi Sherline, Zolldoll is right. Depends on you, your husband, and the amount of support that you have.
My #1 was delivered in June 2008 and I will be delivering again in Mar 2010. 21 mth age gap.
I decided to try again for #2, cos of many factors:
- I'm turning 31 next year. Want to have 2 or 3 kids before mid 30s.
- I have strong family support in the area of child caring. my parents look after my #1 on alternate nights. Hb and I do the other nights. During the weekdays, my dad supervises my maid who cares for #1. My grandma and aunt pop by one weekday a week to play with my #1 - so my dad gets his "day off". Weekends are times my hb and I spend fully with our #1. My parents are still rather young - 57 and 61, so can tap on them a little longer. My mom still works full-time.
- Our home has enough space for 1 or 2 more kids, without needing to move house yet.
- my job is quite secure in the current economic climate and my boss encourages me to have another child soon.
- my husband will go overseas on work for 9 months starting Mar 2011.
