Should I just try to give my husband his son?
I’m a homemaker with 3 daughters — 10, 8 and 7 years old. I’m with them all the time: taking them to appointments, school, and helping with homework etc.
My husband is pressuring me to have another baby because he wants a son. I really don’t want to, as I know I don’t have the patience to go through all the crying, bottles and diapers again. Especially since he never helped with any of it.
I’ve told him “no” a 1000 times but he refuses to listen. Should I keep resisting? Should I just try to give my husband his son?
You are not buying a piano… Actually, I’m sure that in many families an impulse purchase of a piano, would cause some serious resentment. With a baby you can’t have resentment, so you have to talk it through with your husband…
You had your last kid seven years ago, and he starts talking about another one when you finally start getting some of your freeedom back, with the kids in school etc? Too me it sounds like he wants you bound to the house again, like a good little baby-making machine and servant.
