I know how you're feeling.. My daughter is 29 months old and I want another baby but my husband doesn't want one right now.. He says he only wants one kid and that's it... I don't want her to be an only child, I want her to have someone to play with, fight, etc.. (what kids do best lol!)

I think you do need to have a very serious talk with him..
I know I will be doing the same thing (he'll think I'm joking but I'm not) and if he doesn't want another child then our relationship will end.. It's just something I can't life with, only having one child when my entire family (mom & dads) have had alot of kids..

I have to agree with Arna.. He's gonna be a parent for life.
Just having one kid doesn't make things any easier..

I feel for you and I'm sorry.. Good luck.. I hope you can get through to him.

Hi there, my heart goes out to you. I'm in a simmilar situation, only i have more kids. Long story so i won't put it here, if you want to minti mail me that would be great.  I got to the point where i suggested Foster Care but my other half wouldn't even consider it, then i suggested that i do Family Day Care but that was also scrapped quickly.  I was nagging him about it a lot but i have given up on that one. He knows how i feel and how it is affecting our relationship, we still love each other but it is a serious sore point and will be for a long time. I have no answers for you but a hell of a lot of sympathy. I know how much it hurts to want a baby but not to have your partner  want one too.

would you consider becoming a foster parent??

i mean in the ways of taking care of young kids while there in need of a house before they move on to something more perminet(cant spell that lol).i know there is a strong demand out there for decent familys to take on this role.

Is he aware that he is a parent for life now?  I mean, being a parent doesn't stop just because your kids move out of home.

having kids doesn't have to stop you from living life the way you want to.  Holiday destinations these days have family friendly options and for those times when you want to go out together, there are plenty of care options.

I think you have to decide what is more important for you.  That is having more kids, or staying with your husband.  If you feel your lives are moving in different directions, then you have to do something about that and either get back on track together or walk away.  I know that sounds harsh, but life has to be about your wants and needs too, not just his.

I think you and he need to have a serious talk about what is important to each of you and what your wants and needs are..no arguing, no fighting, just talking..See if you can both understand where the other is coming from..Is there a way to compromise? If not, what will you and he both need to ensure that you are both fulfilled and happy from life..

Hmm I can understand his point of view, and yours. Is there any way that you could reach a compromise. Just one more child in the near future. Point out the long term benefits of having a sibling for your youngster. Hard as it may be, to invisage life can take a devastating turn.

My mother died unexpectedly, just a few short weeks after, my first child was born, without my Sister's support I would have been quite alone. My best friend has niether Brother nor Sister and both her Parents have passed, she feels very alone.  Friends, though great, it is not that intimate bond of family. 

I do understand that not all siblings gel, but it is something to consider discussing with him. Best Wishes.

Hey how are? I really feel for you hey, i understand how you must feel, i suggest maybe if you want to have more kids and he doesnt, u suggest other options like foster caring, which may work for both of you, as he will still get to live his life, but also you will be able to look after kids too...with foster care it wont be permanant and you's will still get to be kid free. but also you will get to help bring up other kids and that can be a rewarding thing too...

i hope this help helps you out

take care
