Broody when your kids are older?

sorry to read your other post, hope everything works out for you.

I've been considering going back to work, but child care is a problem, as i have no one to help during school holidays. Husband won't even discuss having another child, so no idea why he is so against it, its not as though he helps with them anyway. Oh well, he has agreed to a puppy but that was a year ago, the breed i want (bernese mountain dog) isn't the easiest to find.

are there no council run holiday play schemes in the area? could dontact the council to see what childcare options they have

alternatively you could look for a term time only job ?

dinner lady / classroom assistant / school admin / working in a college
or why not go to college and get a qualification in something new ? which would broaden your options a bit ? many courses ive looked at are bewteen 10 - 2pm which would be ideal

I say 'go with your heart'. If another child is what you want, then have another child, everything else will fit into place. Ive got 3 children the youngest is 8, i wanted another child but my husbad didnt (i now know because he had someone else). Anyway i fell pregnant which wasnt planned, and i was over the moon, he wasnt and after 5 months of being pregnant i unfortunately lost my unborn son, 2 months after that my husband walked out too, to be with his tart, and now we're going through a divorce, im still heartbroken about losing my baby and im 38 so dont think im going to find a man i can trust now and have another child.

Lisa, as you can see from everyone's replies, there's no straight answer. What's right for one isn't right for another. Personally, I have two, DS (1) and DD (3). They're the light of my life but I'd be suicidal if I got pregnant again. I'm so looking forward to September 2009 when DS starts school full-time and we'll have money again (we're currently paying for a day nursery place for him).

But that's just my view obviously, others feel differently. I'm also not very maternal, as much as I love my two babies, I'm pretty hopeless in that department. Oh, and our house is too small for another one.

By the way, your DH needs to get a grip and grow up. He needs to realise when he's well off (ie, with you).
