No never. I have a girl and a boy and they get along. I love them both, and wouldn’t change it. With two I have kept my career going, travelled, maintained hobbies and friends whilst still spending time with my kids and teaching them stuff. I can also afford to take them on holidays, pay for music and sports they enjoy. We have quality time together. I am not hugely maternal so two is more than enough for me.

I have 3, and am going to try for a 4th this year (im almost 37), we’re happy with 3 but im conscious that soon (if not now!) i wont be able to have another, I think it would torture me forever if i didn’t give it a go. If i cant fall pregnant, then i will accept that, but id rather try and fail, then always wonder, 50 + years is a long time to live with the regret of not having another.

That’s sweet to hear of a mum who is is in a position to have more and wants to have more. I’m not in a position- financial or family help wise, I work etc, so it’s so far a desire of mine as I am overextended.. but it’s lovely to hear someone also with three who has a different position. Goodluck!

Would have loved to have a third but he was happy with two then time just got away and didn’t want to start all over again and financially as well

I want a 3rd but my hubby only wanted 2. For that reason we stopped at 2 kids. I don't regret it as I think a 3rd child should be a mutual decision..
