Should I Trade My Career for a Sibling My Kid Might Ignore? 🤯
So here’s the deal: My 4-year-old daughter sometimes looks at other kids with siblings and gets this wistful look, but honestly, she seems fine being the only child—except when she’s lonely. My husband and I are both killing it at work, and if we stick with one kid, she’ll have every opportunity I never had: tutors, travel, a house, even a cushy retirement fund. But if we have another, I’d have to quit my job. That means way less money, more stress, and maybe less for both kids.
Here’s where it gets messy: My husband thinks I’m being selfish for wanting to keep our financial edge, but I grew up poor with three siblings I barely talk to now. Is it really better to have a sibling you might not even like, or is financial security the real gift? I’m honestly angry that he doesn’t get how much I’m sacrificing, and confused about what’s actually best for our daughter. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤💸
