This seems trivial compared to what some others are going through . However there are few people you can ask this type of question. I really prefer not to tell people what is going on (or not in my bedroom.
Our dilemma is this I would quite like 3 kids but DH wants to stick at 2 we have.
We have 2 DD's 3.8 and 15mo I would like another baby not immediately but maybe next year. (Babies do take a long time to cook though hence the conversation just now). I have no real reason for wanting a baby other than I really, really do. BC I thought I would have 2 but since the birth of DD1 I have always liked the idea of 3.
DH points are:
Perfectly happy with two DD's and why rock the boat? (You might get picked up on a better one (boat that is)).
What if something was wrong with baby it would seriously affect other 2 (True but I am still low risk age-30 and would get AFP done (I know its not 100%))
Financial worries (OK we are not the beckhams but not on poverty line either. House could take extra child, car probably couldn't)
Doesn't want to go through the whole baby thing again (It doesn't last very long and rewards well outway negatives imo)
He just doesn't
I short we can't see an easy compromise so would like some advice before it becomes a real issue
