I really want another baby but?

im a stay at home mom w no income.

my husband has a mediocre job. hes not college educated

our daughter is 18 months and we are going to try for another baby this fall.

honestly we get NO help from the government or our family and we always find a way to make it work even though we have a mortgage, a new car, and utility bills.

it just means no excess spending. we literally dont spend money on anything extra except for one day a month. but we dont mind it at all. we just spend alot of time together outside. best things in life are free!

so i say go for it, eventually the economy will bounce back. as long as you can still pay the bills.

i think its great to have children close in age.

If you have serious doubts, you are better off waiting another year or two. You're right, the economy is terrible, and there are people who say that if you wait until you're ready, then it'll never happen. But really, the economy right now is exceptionally bad. Even jobs that have seemed secure are being outsources to India and Russia. If your husband were to lose his job, where would the money for diapers come from? Your family could be forced onto welfare for the diapers alone, and this country can't afford this. I wish more people thought about this before having kids and just thinking that welfare can take care of them if anything happens. The people still working are paying more and more in taxes for this attitude.

You would likely enjoy a new baby more if you weren't worried about making sure there's always money for diapers and all else a baby needs. This does mean waiting a year or two and seeing how things go. Set aside a little bit of money each month to put toward expenses when you do have another.

Good luck, and thank you SOOOOO much for not just jumping into another baby because you want one.

I have a 2 year old and my husband and I started trying for another in October. He makes decent money, enough to get by comfortably. I am 12 weeks now and we just found out we are having twins. We weren't expecting 2, but everything happens for a reason. My point is, God won't give you anything you can't handle. If you do happen to get pregnant, trying or not, everything will be fine. Nobody is ever financially ready for a baby, so I say if you want another one soon, go for it. Good luck honey!

I went through the same delieama but my reason was i was scared i has a baby at 20 and when i married my husband he wanted a child the following year. it took me awhile to come around to the idea because i felt i wouldn't be able to cope but I'm 14 weeks tomorrow.You need to be 100% sure that you can cope and have the love for another child then go for it. After all our Grandparents had loads of children in very hard times so don't let that rule your decision.

This has nothing to do with he economy. It has to do with how much more financial responsibility you can handle.

If your husband has a very secure job, or his own business and you feel that you in a "safe" place, then go for it. People had lots of children during the great depression, economy doesn't really decide whether your family can handle another child or not.

If you want another baby and your household income can handle it, go for it girl!! I would be sure your hubby's job is pretty secure first is all!! You know what's best for you and your family, and I know the economy isn't the best right now, but if we all worried about that no one would be having babies. I don't believe anyone is ever finacially ready for what babies throw at us..lol.. Our economy will bounce back, so do what you feel is best in your heart!!

BEST WISHES to you and your family
