Answer 1

well i don't really have much of an answer but..i know how you feel, I'm only 20 and I'm a stay at home mom and i have 2 kids 1 boy and 1 girl, plus i have a step daughter me an my husband fight alot to because of stress but at the end of the day you have the kids to make it all better. If having a child is what you wanna do, if you can take care of he/she physically and financially then by all means do it, but if you don't i wouldn't !! because after the damage is done its mean to turn back if you know what i mean

Answer 2

Answer 3

Take the time to work on your relationship before bringing another person into the mix.  You should really consider counseling.  It is better for your son to be an only child then to have 2 children that are exposed to arguing/fighting.  It really does affect children negatively to see and hear their parents fighting even at age 2.  Another baby is another stress and more than likely that will cause more fighting. Get help with your marriage first.

Answer 4

Well, from experience, I can say that if you and your husband are already fighting and stressed,you don't want to go having another baby. That will just add to it. Theres nothing wrong with an only child. He just won't have anyone to argue with.lol.

But it really sounds like you need a break. Somehow you should get hubby to give you one.Good luck!!!!

Answer 5

I feel for you, I also have trouble sleeping, my worries seem so much bigger when I am not getting enough sleep. I have tried SAM-e, it's in the vitamin aisle, supposed to help calm you naturally.  There is also another herb that may help..Melatonin (can't remember the spelling).  I've read that sleep problems are often a symptom of depression and stress, so most likely you are caught in a cycle that will be hard to break by yourself and without addressing your life/family issues.  Are you taking your son on walks during the day? This will help release some of your stress and give you an outlet.  Do something for yourself, no matter how small, get your feet done, have a girlfriend watch your son and take a drive, or window shop, take time now for yourself and slow your mind down a little. Good luck.
