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

You work though you bring in the finances
you want to spend more time with her you
want to have a less stressful life another
child can bring more stress

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. :?:

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.
