Hey so I missed this thread the first time around, and since it's been so long I wonder if anyone's attitudes have changed?

I'm the youngest in a family of 4 with much older siblings (5,10,13 years older) and my wife has an older sister.

We had our daughter 1.5 years ago, but we're not sure about having another. Our concerns are $$$, time, and my wife's age. (she'll be 40 later this year) Right now our daughter is being looked after by my in-laws so the daycare costs are pretty much 0. However, they're getting older... And I'd rather not use daycare for personal reasons.

I do in a way wish we also had a son, but I wouldn't be disappointed with a daughter... But I guess we both are feeling a bit selfish if we just have one kid. Tough call.
