TTC #3 after 10 years in my 30s. Am I crazy??

Question

Hey Glow sisters!!
I’m 31 and hubby is 39. We have a 13 yo girl and 10 yo boy. We are trying for #3 and people are telling us we are crazy. 
I hear: 
“you already have a boy and a girl, you have everything you need/the perfect family” 
“why do you want to go thru that again and you already have older kids?” 
“you’re going to need to have 2 then so they have each other to grow up with”
I’d love some feedback/advice so I can see this from all sides and not just be all in my feelings... TIA

Answer

Omg. Im hearing the same thing now. My son is 8 an ld my daughter will be 7 in July. For a while i felt our family was great as is and that i wouldnt want more children. I am now 30 and he is 32 and we want our 3rd.... my mom is freaking out and judging me. And im like well hell, you have never really helped with 1 or 2 so why would you care about 3. DO wat your heart wants. I kno i am!

Answer

Don’t listen to them. It’s your life and unless they take care of you and your children financially, then tell them to mind their own business. I went through the same thing.

Answer

My kids are very similar in age to yours. I have a 14 year old and 10 year old both girls. We are having our 3rd baby in November. We have been trying for 3 years we also had 2 miscarriages so we are beyond excited for this little rainbow baby 💗 best wishes to you on your journey!

Answer

I heard all these things as well Hun. 
I have a 14 year old daughter and 15 year old son but at the time my husband and I decided to have our own my two kids were 12&13 . 
I now have a 2 1/2 year old and 14 month old. Trust me it's not easy and sometimes I miss just doing stuff with the older kids it with just my husband but then there are days that our littles are our life and we're trying for another after having a miscarriage in April. 
All I can say is it's your life, your decision, your money supporting them so outsiders really have no input .

Answer

We have  17, 11, & 7 all are soon to be a year older 18, 12, 8 and I want another baby but husband isn’t on board. 
I’ve been told “you don’t need another baby.”
“Just wait to have grandkids.”
“You’re gonna be that old parent at graduations and other school events.”
Husband says he doesn’t want to work the rest of his life. Which to me isn’t a valid argument because odds are we will be working the rest of our lives either way. 
It’s so devastating to hear these comment from others, like can’t we just be supportive?

Answer

I hear the same!!!im 31 my hubby 32.we have a 13yr old an a 9 yr old both girls.we had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in April an someone actually said to me maybe it was for the best 😢I didn’t know what to say.now I wonder if we should keep trying or not.

Answer

just don’t forget about your teenagers since they really need their parents at that age. Have you considered fostering?

Answer

"You have everything you need for a perfect family" uh their idea of a perfect family is not the same as everyone else's! You have a different idea of a perfect family, why does it matter to them? Are they going though labor and PP, buying the diapers and getting up in the night with the baby? No! So they can butt out! You want a baby, have a baby! I'm 33 and am 15 weeks pp. You not to old at all!

Thank you for your responses🙏🏾
