[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar dynamic, with the twist that my husband initially thought he would want more kids than I did, and was surprised by how much harder it was than he thought. He was one of those people who talked a lot before kids about how you shouldn't let them control your life, dictate your activities, you could and should still have your adult life, etc. And then having a kid turned out to be more exhausting than he thought, and kids demand more of you than he expected, etc. And he didn't want another. The result is that we have only one child. Sometimes I feel some wistfulness or even sadness about that, but it is what it is, and I'd rather just accept it and move on than resent him for it. I do sometimes think it's because I went in thinking that kids would be really hard and tiring and demanding, and he was convinced that it wouldn't be like that, and so he was thrown for a loop in a way that I wasn't.
