[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I REALLY want another child. Like, I know I will be disappointed for a very long time if I can't have one. It may be biologically driven as I'm 36 and the door is closing soon, so to speak. DH really does not want another child. I feel so sad about this and can't stop hoping that maybe I'll be able to change his mind (fwiw, we can afford it, it's not a financial thing).

Does it matter how many kids we already have? The people in my life - my mom, sisters, BFF, etc. - are not especially sympathetic because we have three and they tell me that should be "sufficient." I love them dearly but it doesn't change the fact that I feel someone is missing from our family, kwim?[/quote]

You can feel sad and hope to change his mind.  But don't go over his head.

Does it matter how may kids you have?  Um..yes?  This is the question that makes you sound cray cray.

Obv it matters. What I mean is, why is my yearning for a fourth child less deserving of sympathy and validation than someone who wants a second? (Not talking about infertility, just husbands who refuse).[/quote]

Because you already have three![/quote]

Np. and do you tell women who have one "you already have a child!" ?

You can't help wanting what you want.

I'm not the OP but I do sympathize with her desire to have another baby. We have three too and are done but in our case it is financial (especially the worry about paying for college). I wonder if that is what is making it harder for her, in a way. She knows they can afford it so it's more of an arbitrary decision on the part of her husband.[/quote]
