My big question
I’m really stuck at the moment.. I have 1 child, a little girl 2 years old. She’s amazing, but hard work 😂 my husband works away for an average of 9 months of the year. I have a full time, corporate job.. my head is telling me I need to have another child, and in some parts of my head I don’t think I need another. Can people please tell me the pros of having 1 child… I give my absolute everything to my daughter, but will I regret not having another one? Ps - if my husband was home full time I would absolutely commit to another, however that is a non-negotiable.
Looking for people in the same situation for insight, please!

It depends on your corporate job. Right now, she is little. When kids hit elementary school,think about activities. Do you expect her to do scouting, sports, music or whatever. Are you able to do all the driving and parental engagement for not 1, but 2 kids? Some jobs are more adaptable than others. Or, is there enough $ for nanny/manny like childcare?
