I dread the thought of my kids growing up. I don't think I will be able to stand it when they are gone and won't know what to do with myself.

Well, I grew up in a big family/small house, where 4 kids shared same bedroom, and I was the oldest one, I coulnt stand to be at home, and I couldn't wait to move out. It was just too crouded. I don't want my kids to go though same problem. I am closer to my sisters now than I was before. Now we don't have to be in the same room 24-7, so it's easier not to fight. My kids are already sharing a bedroom. If there will be more of them in that small bedroom, I am sure, they won't like it.
I want to make decent income, and I feel underpaid, just because I have to have flexible schedule, and can only work part time, if I don't want to give most of my paycheck to a babysitter. Whatever my Dh is making right now is enough, but we would live paycheck-to-paycheck.
That's why I wan't my kids to be old enough to stay home without a babysitter. And having another one, will make me to put everything on hold for 2-3 more years. Not counting the extra expences to grow a child. If I would be able to afford to stay home, I wouldn't even worry about all that.
