Question

my husband really wants another baby and he has been asking me verry nicely and keeps bringing the subject up! he gets all happy and talks about how he wants to take the new baby everywhere and show it the world. all that cute stuff he does with our son already. but to be honost when my son was born 4 years ago i thought id start to like babbies and kids but i still dont. im a good mother but not a child person at all. what would you do? mature advice only please.

Answer 1

I am not a child person too try to talk to him that nothing new will happen he already did everything with your first child and that you don't want to have another child that you are not prepared to have and that u love him so much that's why you don't want to loss or spend time except with him and childeren are so time consuming..if you are working talk about that you want to have the chance to grow up in ur job and u need his support if he is kind he will understand.

Answer 2

It is your life and you already have a kid. Don't force yourself into anything. The urge may come with age, so wait. I would tell my husband I don't feel like having another one at the moment.  

Answer 3

be honest with your husband..that's all i can say at this point

Answer 4

It's your body...say no

Answer 5

Just tell him that you should be honest  

Answer 6

Don't understand how you can't like children and it's a little crazy that you say things like that when you have a child of your own but to each their own I suppose.

If he wants more children, then you should.  It would be different if you couldn't do it but how can you deny your husband if he wants more children?  Seems that that would only cause a bigger issue than you're really anticipating if you don't do it.

And I am sure that your son would love a little sister or a little brother.

Answer 7

Just be honest with him. If you really don't want another child then don't.
