I have one daughter she is one. I am thinking about having another child, but am afraid of the responsibility of two children and one disabled husband. On top of it all I am BP. I am just wondering if some other moms can share there experience good or bad.

I have 3 children. I think espically when there is illness in the family at least if the kids have brothers and sisters they can help each other cope.

I agree with mouse that having one or more children helps them cope with things easier than just one. I have only one 10 year old son and he through the years has been lonely, and depends on us to play with him that is until he met friends his age and got older where they could come over and play. My son is also trying to fix things between me and my husband even though we've told him it is not his job or responsibility. He hates to see us argue and not get along , which occurs quite frequently. So I say if your marriage is secure and you both want more children to go ahead. As long as it is for the right reason. I wish I could have had at least one more child but it didn't happen. Now I'm just about too old and forget about this our marriage is almost over the rocks. I don't know which one of us is going to give up first. I guess the person who has had enough and can't take it anymore. Best wishes to you though.

Not a mom...single male parent of three...11, 10, and 6...

Agreed you will want to do it for the right reasons and have a thorough discussion about how this will all work...

I have four children and I hope they continue to support and lean on each other. Only you know what you can handle, you already know what you have to deal with now, and whether or not you can handle another one, two or three.

Decisions yours! I'd do it, but then I love kids.
