[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you so much to the PP’s. 17:44, thank you for your honesty. Will I resent DH for not supporting my desire to have another child? Will he resent me for forcing him? He is a few years older and sees a 6 year postponement of retirement. How will this impact my other kids’ futures, namely how much they will have to spend on college? I think the selfish thing feels like continuing the pregnancy. I am torn. I remain pro-choice because no one enters this decision lightly. I can’t even imagine how a teenager grapples with these questions. I really appreciate the long term way of viewing this situation.

Why would you say the selfish thing is to continue the pregnancy? That statement gives me pause because it makes me think you are blaming yourself for the pregnancy. If that is the case, will you blame yourself if you terminate too?

I had my 2nd at 43; I’m 56 and he is 13. An older sibling is a senior in HS. It is exhausting but it’s typical parenthood - the highs are high and the lows are low.
