I'm guessing I belong in here

I'm currently wtt for my 5th child....my oh desperately wants a baby...he has a daughter who lives 260 miles away.
I really want another baby but want to lose some weight first and we need a bigger house.

My biggest fear is what my mum's reaction will be...I have 4 children to 2 men (was previously on here for a year in 2010/2011 when I had my youngest son).
Also does anybody have any info on shared leave? I'm the main bread winner so me having 9 months off just isn't the ideal option xx

Hey! We sound like we are in a similar boat - my partner however doesn't have any children and I have 1. It's nerve wracking because I also have a great career now, and I don't know how I'm going to balance it all! X

I don't think there is anything wrong with having your children to different men. My mum has 4 kids to 3 different men, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.
Not sure if this will help, but explains about shared leave etc..

I am considering shared parental leave (if I don't get made redundant soon but thats another story). My oh and I earn about the same. Both in good jobs. So I don't want too long out of my career... That may change though.... It is difficult to juggle I agree!
