Does it happen to anyone else? I have two young kids and I feel I’m not done yet however it’s just a lot to juggle with 3 kids. I hope this feeling will go.

You know you dont have to pay for uni and they might not all go

You do have to support them though, especially if they’re not entitled to grants/loans due to parents income etc

My eldest has cerebral palsy and is improving greatly, and I love her dearly. She has taught me resilience and showed me that life can be unpredictable yet full of surprising progress. I used to believe life should be straightforward, but experiencing what happened to her taught me that how you handle traumatic situations matters. My daughter with CP is now a beautiful and thriving child; although she has delays, she is one of the sweetest, most beautiful souls you could meet. My youngest is a very intelligent and funny girl. Both of my girls are always smiling and a joy to be around. We faced some tough times early on with my eldest, but we managed to persevere and received plenty of support. We both work full-time, and a babysitter helps with pick-ups. I'm uncertain if I am perimenopausal, as I still feel much like I did when I was younger. My mother went into menopause at 54, so late. She once joked about this trend of discussing peri and menopause at 43, saying people might just have mental health issues and attribute them to menopause. I think I need to reflect more on the possibility of having a third child, and all the advice I received helped me think more deeply about it.
