[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The part of me that struggles with the jump thinks about the fact that our relationship is not good and my job is still an adjustment. It does not help that of very few friends with 2 one couple is now divorcing and the other three describe 'personal hells' despite family help. I mean, it sounds awful. Obviously they love their kids, but at what price? Am I willing to pay that price?[/quote]
 
If your relationship is "not good," you are absolutely doing the right thing by waiting. It's not fair to your existing child, let alone a new baby, to put major stress on a marriage that is already stressed. Are you and your partner working on strengthening the relationship or just hoping it will get better?  With one toddler things should not be THAT hard.  Now is the perfect time to work on your relationship and hopefully get to the point where you are ready for # 2 (if that's what you want).[/quote]

Some people have difficult toddlers, ours is one of those kids. Still doesn't sleep through the night, very picky eater with allergies. Add to that a partner unwilling to do his share of chores and doesn't trust babysitters. Sometimes, you have a difficult child and partner both are 'unfixable' hence the standstill.[/quote]
