Estory -2 : Going for 3rd one..Am I crazy ?

Recommended Posts

To give a little background about myself- a working mom with 2 kids- 2 yr old and a 7 mons old baby. Both me and DH don't have contacts with extended family (our parents don't have either). I have one brother and he has a brother too- hi bye relationship with our siblings, never bonded well.

Off lately a thought is strongly going on inside me. I am desiring for 3 rd kid. I want to have another baby...the feel that my kids will have each other while growing up and even after us gone, they will have more of their own blood support. I don't want them to be like us. I spoke to my husband today and he immediately called me crazy to have this feeling. He is very skeptical as we will have hardtime raising them, no help from anybody.

I agree with him for certain concerns-although financially I am confident that we would be able to provide good quality of life to them, I am scared of raising them here in US with no help. 

Currently my hands are full with a job and 2 kids. His point of view-

1. Having 2 kids is same as having 2+ in terms of having each other while growing up... Doesn't make a difference. Sharing/joys/grievances would be same.

2. My health will be spoiled too soon as I am a kind of single mom. DH is in travelling job. He cannot change his job as his field has very limited opportunity.

3. I would not be able to concentrate on my career and will be an unhappy mom.
4. Raising 2 kids with no hlep is challenge in itself, asking me to forget the thought of having another one.
5. What will people back home in India will say. Most of our frnds in India/USA have 1 or 2 at the max. No one had 3. 

Well, I am not worried of what others will say. 

6. This one made him confident that I AM Crazy and loosing my mind --I want to have the 3 rd one in another year...before younger one hits 2 years birthday. My reasoning- both of us will be in good health(younger) to raise them.

Please ladies, help me . I considered myself as a level headed women, do I sound crazy ? Did any one intentionally went for 3 rd kid ? If yes, what are the +ve and -Ve ? 

Thanks,

women should be discouraged from having kids.

I fear for a future where 99% of people will literally be slaves to the 1%.

best way to avoid it, is stop having kids, and try to get to the 1%, so we can enslave other people's kids.
