[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only if he's truly a full partner in parenting & adulting. And I'd wait for a year to start trying again. 15 months is REALLY close together.  [/quote]

+100 and I say this as someone that has two kids 15 months apart.  The first night when we brought our youngest home she started crying and woke our 15 month old so we had two kids crying. I thought what the heck have we gotten ourselves into.  Also, it’s very different having a six month old that isn’t very mobile and thinking about having another (assuming your child sleeps through the night) versus already having a mobile toddler and knowing what it’s like to chase them around etc and then adding a baby to that reality.

OP here. This is why I want to wait. We have an easy baby now, but who knows what he will be like through the other stages. He does sleep through the night. My husband is a great father and partner. We split most things 50/50. I do handle more childcare because I’m only going back to work part-time, but he is still very involved. We live in a condo with low maintenance, have a weekly housekeeper, and use HelloFresh. My husband is a great cook and food preps for meals on the weekend. We split most housekeeping duties equally. He does the bedtime routine when he gets home from work, and spends a lot of time with our son on the weekend. [/quote]
