I'm jealous that my friend is pregnant with her 3rd kid. I also have 2 kids and I want a 3rd, but husband says we have to wait until we are financially able to support a 3rd. But I really want another baby...

Hey mummy, I'd say there's nothing to be jealous about - because somewhere out there, there's also people who are jealous of you for having two kids. Like what other mummies said, you have to think about the future and everything that comes with it. In fact, your husband is being really responsible because he is expecting to have the financial stability - he didn't say he doesn't want to have a child, so I guess you just have to be patient and help whatever way you can :) Other than thinking about just having a 3rd child, you'd also need to think about the financial burden it'll add - don't forget, while you're pregnant and preparing for the 3rd child, your two other kids will NOT stop growing so you'd need to be able to support them too! You also don't want to end up in a situation where there's too much financial burden and you're not sufficiently covered - so the best thing you could do for your family is to make sure that your two children, you and your spouse are covered by insurance to protect yourselves. After that, make sure you have enough financial ability to support your children in their education too - not just for the time being but 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years into the future.
