Heaven help me when I have to go through a REAL crisis with my kids. I think we have done a really good job and I really think we are excellent parents, if I do toot my own horn but at the same time they are still little and have experienced so little. At times, I didn't think I would live through my son's stressful baby times and toddler years. Not that he was bad or bratty. He is ADHD and he is VERY sensitive. So dealing with his frustration being ADHD and undiagnosed and MY frustration because I was bipolar and undiagnosed....you can just imagine the battles we have had. I would love to have another child except for the fact that I do not want to have to go off my medication. I don't want to have to start all over again. I think I would just be putting myself through an emotional roller coaster. Knowing how crazy I was when I was pregnant and all the emotions that went with it, I am not sure I want to go through that again and being off medication. Then having to go back up again on my meds and the side effects. And dealing with my weight and weight loss. I just DON'T WANT TO! By the time we would be able to afford another baby, and yes I know no one can actually AFFORD another baby...hehe but this would be a necessity..Our daughter would be in Kindergarten (she's 3 1/2 and our son is 7) and our son would be in 3rd grade. After that long I am not sure I want to start all over again. I think it would be so hard.....
