Wanting another baby

[lisaandshaun]

Hi,

(Mods if this is the wrong spot please move to the correct area)

I am really keen on having another baby, my first daughter is 15 months now and i have a huge urge to have a second. Only problem is my DH doesnt want another child just yet. He wants to wait till Pee is 5 before we try again.
I keep saying that i am not clucky at all because i know he will ignore the fact that i am desperate for another child.

Is there anyone one else in this situation? How did/do the cope with it?

I am even thinking about messing with my Pill so we have an accident!

I think firstly maybe you should sit down with DH and explain you are feeling clucky, that you would like to TTC your next child sooner, and you both might be able to decide together/compromise when you both would feel right in going again. You never know, he might be more inclined to try earlier if you talk about all the reasons for and against. It's just my opinion, but I think messing with your pill to have an 'accident' is pretty dishonest, and unfair on your DH, especially since you say you haven't told him how you're feeling.

It's hard if you both don't want the same thing at the same time, but without sitting down to talk about it, and to really listen to each other, you'll never be on the same page.

sorry Lisa, I'm with Human Bean on this. Parenting is hard work & its takes the two of you to be on the same team to make it work. If he is left out of the decision making process, its just not fair to then expect him to play ball.

I really hope that you & DH can come to some agreement, but firstly I think you need to be honest with him about how you're feeling.
