Hi ladies. Im 35 with 3 children, 15, 13, and 11. My husband and I have recently decided we would like another baby. (No we are not crazy! lol) the problem is that everyone things we are nuts! I dont care what they think really, but even doctors say things like "dont you have enough?" well, the truth is we are great parents and really want another baby. How do I get people to understand or at least stop judging us on our decision? thanks for listening all.

I think it's terrific that you both want another. With your youngest being 11, the baby will be soooo loved
I have 3 and 1 on the way and I'm 31, so I know what it's like when people make comments like haven't you had enough. They say it because it's expensive and hard work, I doubt they mean any harm by it.
I guess when you are getting near the end of your baby making time, you tend to really feel the need to get one more in before it's too late

Good luck on ttc I have my fingers crossed for you!

Oh BTW, you will get LOADS of support here

You do what you and your husband feel is right and don't listen to any one elses comments. People just don't know when to keep their opinions to themselves!! I give my support 100%, go for it and I wish you a speedy pregnancy!

I wouldn't worry about what everyone else says...do what you and your DH want to do. When someone says something just say "Yes we know the expense of children...we have 3 already...Our family has so much love that we want another child or two. As long as you don't have to raise our children...what business is it of yours anyway?"

That would get them. You most certainly will get a lot of support here. I just wouldn't worry about what others thought. As long as you and your DH is happy...that's all that counts. Good Luck...keep us updated.

I agree do what is in your DH's and your's heart. Don't listen to anyone else as it is none of their business.

to all of them!

Nobody knows what you can handle better than you, yourself. If you both want more and you can love and support them, then I don't see why you shouldn't try to have another one.

Good luck! ++++++++++++ Sending some positive thoughts your way!

I think that just forget what everyone else is saying me and my husband
have 3 children and are TTCing our fourth. I also have a friend who just
had her 4th and people tell her all the time that she has enough and doesn't
need anymore but the way I see it there are a select few of us that just
love our children and love being pregnant and love giving birth and all of us
are truly luckly to be one of them!!! Some people just don't love their children
and we do more than some even bc we are willing to go all through it again
to have another.

So you tell all of those people that you will have 20 if you want and you would
appreciate it if they would just support you.
