Is it too late to have another baby?

I have got a son who has just started school %26amp; it%26#039;s been on my mind for the past 6 months. If i had another baby would the age differance be a problem? Can we really afford another baby as both of us are on low wages but higher than to qualify for tax credits?

mr teeman - try READING the question mate

Is it too late to have another baby?

Have one if you can afford one... and can dedicate the time to them. Don%26#039;t worry about the age difference, I have a sister who was born when I was 15 and we get on fine even though I am much older than her! In fact we probably get on better than my other sister who is 3 years younger than me. Only you can answer your question about being able to afford another baby though.

Is it too late to have another baby?

There%26#039;s never a %26quot;right time%26quot; to have a baby and if you wait untill you can afford one you will never have one, go with your heart, if YOU%26#039;RE ready to have another baby have one. GOOD LUCK!

Is it too late to have another baby?

me an my sister are three years apart, but i know someone my age (9th grade) with an older sister done with college and about to get married. alot of people have siblings much older than them. there would be benefits for your son too. for example, he would be able to have experience taking care of a baby, helping to take care of the new one. that would make him a better option for babysitting jobs. my older sister has several people she babysits for because she used to babysit me, but i cant find anything.

lol

anyways idk about money, ive never had a baby but i know theyre expensive...

hope it helped..

Is it too late to have another baby?

Well have a sit down with your spouse or mate and seriously go over the finances. My husband has a program or 2 related to finances on the computer. This will be our first but we know it won%26#039;t be easy but somehow we%26#039;ll make it.

And to me the age difference isn%26#039;t bad. The older they are the more they can help; the more they might want to help.

Good luck with your decision!

Is it too late to have another baby?

my finace%26#039;s mom had a little when she already had two sons entering middle school.. it worked out great for them.. they were much more protective of him then i think they would have otherwise been.. however.. he may be extremely frustrated when you%26#039;re older son is allowed to do things that he will be too young for.. it will take some extra effort to give him the same level of luxuries but age appropriate.. as for whether you can afford it or not.. that%26#039;s really a call that you need to make.. but in my experience.. in mid or lower mid class society.. people rarely say.. wow i have plenty of money for a childs expenses.. but they still make it work.. best of luck my dear!

Is it too late to have another baby?

if you and your partner/husband agree why not. your litlte boy will be old to enough to understand and probably look forward to a new brother/sister, as long as you tell him and involve him

Is it too late to have another baby?

My mum had my younger brother when I had just started school. I can still remember now all the rushing around in the morning and my brother spewing everywhere! Depends how much energy you have and you can make cut backs to afford it if you really need to. Good luck.

Is it too late to have another baby?

it really has to be a decision for your self and partner, my hubby and i have both always worked, we have 6 children, the oldest two are in their twenties and the youngest is 5, so as you can see there are differences in age, it depends on how you and your other half feel, the little boy can always be involved in the pregnancy and help with the new arrival, so he doesn%26#039;t feel left out. I was once told if people waited until they can afford to have children there would never be another child born

good luck with your decision

Is it too late to have another baby?

as long as you can afford to raise another child have one.you will just have to make some drastic cuts somewhere in you present budget. the age difference is not all that much. my sons are 10 years apart and get along with each other great.the older one always had time to hang out and play with the younger one, they became great pals after the second one turned 17, they are closer now than ever.

Is it too late to have another baby?

There is something very sweet in having long age differences between children. I myself have two sisters, 2 years and 7 years younger then me, and a half brother who is 15 years younger then me. I get along great with the 2 year age difference sister, but not so good with the younger one. She was born shortly before the divorce of my parents and she was too young for me to get to know, she was 3, me 10.

Now my brother and I have good relationship. He tends to talk to me about stuff he can%26#039;t talk to our folks about, which is nice.

About the money....It%26#039;s not everything. Good to have, but there have been children born with less then what you are able to provide. My feeling is you have a good heart and will support the child, and that is more important then all the money in the world.

Is it too late to have another baby?

Hi - theres no right or wrong time to have a baby :) Of course, you can be a little more prepared but thats about it! If you and your partner feel ready for another one thenjust do it, youll always find a way to get by. My bro has a low paid job with the MoD and his wife doesnt work. They have 2 young boys and another baba on the way, God knows how they get by but they do. Sending you lots of love and good luck for whatever you decide to do xx

Hello - I had my 4th child when I was 43 - my son who is now at Uni - never have a regretted it - I had a 4 year old daughter at the time and a 14year old and a 17year old (twice married) - my feeling is you can never afford a baby if you sit back and work it all out - but you know there are certain things you dont need and the most important thing you do need is love - so go ahead and enjoy

Is it too late to have another baby?

I have 2 kids 2 yrs apart but there%26#039;s a 8 and 9 years between my brothers and I.

Stop thinking about money and start thinking about love. You both work but it sounds like you both have a lot of love to give another child which is more important.

As for Mr Teeman he should read questions b4 answering not all parents are on benefits because they want to be and this couple BOTH work. Quit worrying about ur tax money Mr Teeman and start caring about other people. You can%26#039;t take it with you when u go.

I don%26#039;t have a choice on being on benefits i was left disabled but desperately working with the single parents adviser to find a way to work from home so i can be BOTH A MOTHER AND A PROVIDER.

So mr teeman don%26#039;t judge us all as spongers a lot of us are desperate to be both parent and working.

Is it too late to have another baby?

Mr Teeman you have issues with yourself - get over it, what ever it is.

As for the %26#039;is it too late%26#039; question - no of course not!

My oldest child is 28, and I have a 14 year old and a 7 year old at home!!

Am the eldest of three my mum had me then my sister when I was 7 1/2 years old and the the youngest when I was 12 1/2 years old and do you know what we all get on great i would chance the age gaps for the world

Is it too late to have another baby?

I don%26#039;t think it is to late, I know lots of people who have large gaps in children. I just spoke to a woman in church on Sunday who%26#039;s oldest is 24 and youngest is 5 (she has six). Now that is a huge gap. There is 9 years between me (oldest) and my youngest brother and my husband has a 10 year gap between him (oldest) and his youngest brother. The money thing will work out. You may have to cut things out of your budget, but don%26#039;t let this stop you from expanding your family.
