Yes, I would have loved to be a mother again. Then we did not have money for a second child, now I can’t (side effects of the cancer treatments) and I have come to terms with that (better than P, which asks for a sister every day of the week).
However, even if it was still possible, I didn’t know if that would be an option. Money is not tight but a second child would require a lot of changes in our life: a bigger house, moving P to a public school, no holidays abroad, etc..
Balancing everything, I prefer to have a single child and to can afford to give a good education than to have two and to have to stick with public schools. I attended both systems and I am fully aware of the differences, it is not just the average quality of the teachers (which is huge), it is more the way kids are seen/treated on both systems.
Even if the public schools in our neighborhood are among the best in the country, I went there and I am not happy with them and what is happening there. Comparing with the school attended by P (the number of students and school size are similar), it feels like a different world. Moreover, P attended a public school in Bxl and I was not happy with it, not because of the teacher, an amazing person, but due to the after school care. If/when I can no longer afford a private school, I think I will be the most annoying parent the school director have ever seen :)
