[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have a one year old and are starting to think about having another. We're 37 so would need to do it soon. I want another child. DH is not there yet. And I told him, if he never gets there, we won't have another. I do not want to have another child if he doesn't WANT to have another. I know that having two will be much harder than having just one. The thing is, he thinks having one is really hard, and I just ... don't. I think I have just adjusted to parenthood much easier than he has. And I also think I knew, going into it, that it would be really hard, and he was somehow surprised by it. He loves our son so much, but looks at parenting through the lens of "this is hard, and I have given up x, y, and z." I don't believe he is resentful, but that's just how he thinks about things in life. I'm not really sure what my question is, but I guess I'm wondering if any of you had a similar dynamic, and how that has worked out? Any lessons learned?[/quote]
