[quote=Anonymous]OP, tell DH that you shouldn’t decide not to have another kid just based on the first year. If kids stayed babies forever, no one would have another! The first year is a huge lifestyle adjustment. Now that my oldest is 4, we can fit him in with our lifestyle. No worries about a meltdown if we want to go out to eat, we can go to the movies (kid movies, but still he can sit through a full movie), etc. He can even entertain himself with toys while we lounge in bed on the weekend. Of course we have an 18 month old (who luckily sleeps in), so we haven’t 100% gotten our freedom back. But I can already tell things are in line to get much easier. In fact my DH who was “so done” with 2 is now open to the idea of a third. Ask him to envision life 5-10-20 years from now. Not to make the decision just off the past 12 months, which are notoriously rough.[/quote]
