Q: Maybe I'm Wrong
asked by: jaymws on March 23rd, 2005

Could I be wrong for not wanting a fourth child? Should I just give in and let her have another baby? I'm I being selfish for not wanting another child? She does all the work with them, all the house work, all the homework, all the sports, I just work. So why shouldn't I let her have another? Please looking some great advice to share with my wife.
Thanks j.

i think you should talk to your wife and let her know how you feel. Keep in mind that you are a family and if you really dont want another child she should know. Good luck

Thanks for your advice. I have talked with her and I all most think I have her convince that a fourth child might slow us down and it is truly unlikely we will get a girl. Proably another cute little boy that grows to a over active bounce baby boy. Beside we can start doing more grown up things with our three boys we have now. Once again thanks a lot.
Thanks j.

Yeah if shes solely trying for a girl what if you have another boy? Will she simply be unhappy and wan to try for another child?

Even if it is selfish, which I don't think it is, it is your life too and you shouldn't have another child if you don't want one. What good would that do anyone? I am glad you two can talk these things through, and I am sure that will be a great help in the situation. But, if you aren't sure that you do want another one (which you already said that you don't want another one) then don't have one. Good luck.

What about adopting?? I know I would feel pretty upset if me and my husband had 3 boys.. Since I really want a daughter. But your right, there's a 50/50 chance and it could very well be another boy. So is adoption an option? You could get a girl for sure, and if a newborn will slow you down you could adopt maybe a little older child. :?:

Thanks to All
I couldn't get my post to reply right, so I posted a new topic post earlier to thank you all. Now my reply post is working thank goodness. I was getting stressed over it...Uggg..Lol.. Any way I wanted to share with all that my wife has decided at this time to wait a long time and if in a year or so she still feels the same way then we would talk about it and either try to have one our self or adopt a little girl. Good luck to all of you and have a great easter. It is the first easter that I have been off from work in years, so I am like many others looking forward to watching my boys hunt for eggs and find their easter baskets in the morning. Again i'm so grateful for all of the advice you have shared with me to share with my wife.

Thanks j.
