What do I do if?

Question

my husband wants kids but I don't....I grew up around kids and I couldn't stand them they were so annoying and my had really bad behavior problems and talked back and I don't wanna have kids because I don't want them to end up anything like that. Plus I'm bipolar and I can be mean to a child or impatient with them for no reason....I don't want kids for my sake and the child's sake but my husband does what should I do????

Answer 1

You just sit down and talk to him about it. And just because the kids you were around were obnoxious doesn't mean yours will be. You just have to be a loving but sometimes strict parent. I hope you and your husband can decide what to do.

Answer 2

Ohh...this is a toughy because this should have been a topic of conversation before the wedding date.  If it was and he just thought you would eventually change your mind, explain to him again that you were serious about not having children.  

But if it wasnt talked about before you got married....then pretty much the same thing.  You both need to sit down and you need discuss your reasons for not having children.  The biggest one being your medical condition.  If he doesnt completely understand being bipolar, take him to your doctor and have him discuss the symptoms and reality of it.

Answer 3

You should talk to him about this and explain why you do not want children and include your condition.

Answer 4

First off this is something that should of been discussed before marriage! But maybe take some parenting classes or some volunteer work dealing with children. This may help change your perspective on children!
