1 or More?
hubby and i have agreed that we won't have another kid until our son is a bit older, probably when he's 5 or 6 years old. life's not easy nowadays, everything is expensive and we want to provide the best for our kids. right now, we're both working full time and as it is, our son is left in the care of his nanny or his paternal grandma. i only see him a few hours at night, and i only get to see him the whole of sunday as i work half day during saturdays. tough, huh? we take solace on the fact that we're trying to give our son a good future.
but on the other hand, is it really a good idea? having siblings will make him sociable and learn to value relationships more. i have 4 siblings myself, my husband 1. and it's always nice to have someone to talk to, share ideas with. sometimes, having friends is not enough. family is more important. when my hubby and i are older, if we die (touch wood), my son will be left alone. i know i've got my own family and hubby's family to look after him. but they have lives of their own. it's still different if there are more of you to look after each other.
well, im not ending this blog in a negative way. we still want a few more kids. but not now. soon, probably =). whatever. come what may.. que sera sera.. as we always say.
