op here. My oldest is 4 so that is not in option anywhere in the near future! thanks everyone for the responses. My husband thinks I should just get help because I am also not sure I feel ready to have anothing one (at the right time IY"H, I know it's in Hashems hands) but he thinks if it would help me be more ready, if I had help them should definetly get as much help as possible.. but then I feel like where is my role? am I bad mother? also I hate having someone strange in my house all day as I'm more reserved myself and feel like while I would like the help and having a clean house I would get annoyed with having someone always around my home and having to worry about their needs - feeding them etc.....

I also hate havign someone in the house with me, I'd rather clean. but the truth is, when my house is sparkling and I didnt have to juggle a baby with a mop, I can relax a bit more. my kids are older so its easier for me to recognize my role. but trust me that your role is so much more than housekeeper/babysitter. you have to be emotionally there for your kids. if having some alone time during the day will keep you charged for your kids later (and for your dh too) then it might be worth giving up some privacy
